This report presents interim results from a series of studies of the lumbosacral region of the spine. A new classification of the lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) is proposed. An LSTV was found with similar frequency in patients and in population samples. The radiological findings were related to the presence of symptoms and to evidence of urological problems. Whilst Brocher (1973), Rubin (1971), and others have considered an LSTV to be of importance because it should lead to unfavourable weight bearing in the lower spine, the present extensive material shows that there is no relation between an LSTV and low backache. There may be a genetic factor involved in the various types of LSTV.
本报告展示了一系列关于脊柱腰骶部研究的中期结果。提出了一种腰骶部移行椎（LSTV）的新分类。在患者和人群样本中发现LSTV的频率相似。放射学检查结果与症状的存在以及泌尿系统问题的证据相关。虽然布罗谢（1973年）、鲁宾（1971年）等人认为LSTV很重要，因为它会导致下脊柱负重不良，但目前大量资料表明LSTV与腰痛之间没有关联。LSTV的不同类型可能涉及遗传因素。
