The lumbar spine comprises five sections of vertebral bones, and the sacrum is a curved 'shield' at the back of your pelvis. The tailbone (or coccyx) is below the sacrum. The lumbar spine also has cartilage, large vessels, tendons, and ligaments.Thus, an X-ray is used to introduce ...

Instability of the lumbar spine involves a change in normal vertebral dynamics caused by injury, tumours, inflammatory processes and degenerative disease. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings since even the most sophisticated imaging techniques only offer a static view under conditions of maximum weigh...
Spina bifida represents the failure in developing components associated with the neural tube and its coverings in the posterior elements of the spine [4]. Data from animal models suggests that spina bifida and anencephaly can result from disturbances in cell adhesion or alterations in neural plate ...
spine radiographs included anteroposterior, lateral, and bilateral (left and right) oblique views. We cut each lumbar spine radiograph image into a square shape that included the vertebra corresponding to the level at which the TFESI was performed and the vertebrae juxta below and above that level...
Lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) is a common anatomical abnormality that is often seen at the L5/S1 level of the spine [1]. This can either present as lumbarization of S1 vertebra or sacralization of L5 vertebra [2]. The lumbarization of S1 is characterized by various features, inclu...
Table 4. Lenke classification and low back pain. Thus, attention should be given to the lumbosacral junction in Lenke 1 and Lenke 5. The lumbar spine modifier does not provide further evidence of LSTV differentiation. Nearly half of the patients in each category complain of chronic lumbar symp...
