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.
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.
No, lumbar strain refers to an injury to the muscles and tendons in the lower back region, specifically the lumbar spine. Lumbosacral strain, on the other hand, involves muscle or tendon irritation in the lower back and the top of the sacrum. While they both affect the lower back area, lumbosacral strain involves the junction where the lumbar spine meets the sacrum.
Your spinal cord is made up of 5 different areas, based on how many vertebrae (pieces of spine) make it up. You have: 7 CERVICAL 12 THORACIC 5 LUMBAR 5 SACRAL 5 COCCYGEAL Therefore the lumbosacral junction (where lumbar meets sacral) is assumed to be at L5 (the 5th and last lumbar vertebrae) and S1 (the 1st sacral vertebrae).
The medical term meaning pertaining to the lumbar and sacral regions is lumbosacral.
Acute left lumbosacral paravertebral myofascitis ICD-9 code is 724.2
Thoracic or lumbosacral neuritis or radiculitis
This description is consistent with a pilonidal cyst, which is a pocket of fluid that forms in the skin at the base of the spine. It can become infected and cause pain and swelling. Treatment may involve draining the cyst or surgical removal.
The weakest part of the spine is typically considered to be the junction between the lumbar (lower back) and sacral (pelvic) regions, known as the lumbosacral junction. This area is prone to disc herniation and other mechanical issues due to the significant amount of weight-bearing and movement that it supports.
