The lumbosacral region is of interest because of increased incidence of low back pain resulting from stress and strain. The lumbosacral spine supports and transmits weight of the body to the inferior extremity and thus plays an important role in posture. In lumbosacral transitional vertebra either the fifth lumbar vertebra may show assimilation to sacrum (sacralisation) or the first lumbar vertebra may show transition to lumbar configuration (lumbarisation). Due to the association between lumbosacral vertebral anomalies with low back pain, early disc degenera- tion in young individuals and other spinal pathology, the present study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, ESIC Medical College & PGIMSR, Chennai, India. Sacral bones were observed for sacral cornua, sacral hiatus and variations like sacralisation of fifth lumbar verte- bra. Sacralisation was observed in three bones, complete in one and incomplete in two bones. The possible origin of the anomaly and its relevance to clinics are discussed.
腰骶部因其因压力和劳损导致的腰痛发病率增加而备受关注。腰骶椎支撑并将身体重量传递至下肢,因此在姿势方面起着重要作用。在腰骶部移行椎中,要么第五腰椎可能呈现骶骨同化(骶化),要么第一骶椎可能呈现向腰椎形态的转变(腰化)。由于腰骶椎异常与腰痛、年轻个体早期椎间盘退变及其他脊柱病变之间存在关联,本研究在印度钦奈ESI医学院及PGIMSR解剖学系开展。观察骶骨的骶角、骶管裂孔以及诸如第五腰椎骶化等变异情况。在三块骶骨中观察到骶化,其中一块完全骶化,两块不完全骶化。文中讨论了该异常的可能起源及其与临床的相关性。
