Transition anomalies at the lumbosacral junctions

摘要

Transition anomalies at the lumbosacral junction are frequent problems in spinal practice 4, 6-8, 10. Sometimes it is difficult to correlate the clinical symptomatology with the actual spinal morphology at this anatomical location. Many of these transition anomalies, like incomplete lumbalisation, incomplete sacralisation, combined or not with spondylolisthesis or spondylolysis or spina bifida occulta or dysplastic joints, do not really represent a problem in younger patients 2, 3, 5, 14, 15.
