What is transitional lumbosacral vertebra?
Transitional lumbosacral vertebra is a condition where the last lumbar vertebra (L5) is partially fused with the first sacral vertebra (S1). This can lead to variations in the anatomy and function of the lower back and pelvis, potentially causing pain or discomfort. It is a common anatomical variant that may be seen in some individuals.
What is encroachment of the neutral foramen on the left at L3-4 atrributed to disc bulging and what is transitional lumbosacral segment at L5-S1 associated with mild disc bulging?
Encroachment of the neutral foramen on the left at L3-4 due to disc bulging indicates that the intervertebral disc is protruding and compressing the nerve root exit point, potentially leading to symptoms like pain or numbness in the corresponding lower limb. A transitional lumbosacral segment at L5-S1 suggests an anatomical variation where the L5 vertebra may exhibit characteristics of the sacrum, which can predispose this area to abnormal stress and mild disc bulging. This bulging may further contribute to nerve root irritation or compression at this transitional segment.
What superior articular process of the sacrum articulate?
The superior articular process of the sacrum articulates with the inferior articular process of the last lumbar vertebra (L5) to form the lumbosacral joint.
What does L stand for on L5 of a vertebra?
The "L" in L5 stands for lumbar, indicating that the vertebra is part of the lumbar region of the spine, specifically the fifth lumbar vertebra.
What does L5-S1 stand for?
5th lumber vertebrae and first sacral vertebra.
What is lumbosacral junction?
The lumbosacral junction is located in the lower center of the back and between the hips. It consists of the L5 vertebral and the first sacral vertebral body.

What does sacralization of L5 vertebrae with right transverso-iliac neo-articulation mean?
left sided sacralisation of L5 vertebra seen
What causes an Posterior annular tear of L5-S1?
A posterior annular tear is a tear in the ligament fibers that cover the inner core of a disc. The discs separate each vertebra in your spine. A posterior annular tear in the L5-S1 discs indicates the location in which these tears occur. L5 is the fifth and lowest of the lumbar vertebra and the S1 is the first and highest sacral vertebra.
What is a posterior annular tear in L5 S1 disc mean?
A posterior annular tear is a tear in the ligament fibers that cover the inner core of a disc. The discs separate each vertebra in your spine. A posterior annular tear in the L5-S1 discs indicates the location in which these tears occur. L5 is the fifth and lowest of the lumbar vertebra and the S1 is the first and highest sacral vertebra.
Is spondylolisthesis the forward movement of the body of one of the lower lumbar vertebra on the vertebra below it or on the sacrum?
Spondylolisthesis is the forward displacement of one vertebra over the one beneath it. It commonly occurs in the lower lumbar region, especially between the fifth lumbar vertebra and the first sacral vertebra (L5-S1).
I an having L5 S1 foraminotomy surgery what does this mean?
If you are having an L5 S1 foraminotomy surgery it means the surgeons will enlarge the passageway of the first spinal nerve in your 5th lumbar vertebra.
