Intervertebral disc degeneration associated with lumbosacral transitional vertebrae: a clinical and anatomical study.
We studied 52 patients, each with a lumbosacral transitional vertebra. Using MRI we found that the lumbar discs immediately above the transitional vertebra were significantly more degenerative and those between the transitional vertebrae and the sacrum were significantly less degenerative compared with discs at other levels. We also performed an anatomical study using 70 cadavers. We found that...
متن کاملLumbosacral transitional vertebrae and nerve-root symptoms.
Transitional vertebrae (TV) may be one of the risk factors for lumbar disc herniation. It is not clear, however, whether the presence of TV can affect the development of nerve-root symptoms. Our aim was to clarify this relationship. A total of 501 patients with lumbar degenerative disease and nerve-root symptoms was studied in respect of their level and the presence of TV. As a control group, 5...

MATERIALS & METHODS Institutional review board approval was obtained, and informed consent documentation was approved for the study...
متن کاملLumbosacral transitional vertebrae: incidence in a consecutive patient series.
BACKGROUND Great variability exists in the reported frequency of transitional vertebra in the general population as well as in symptomatic lumbar spine patients. OBJECTIVE To determine the occurrence rate of transitional vertebra in consecutive lumbar spine patients in our practice. DESIGN A prospective, observational study METHODS Plain films were viewed and the presence or absence of a ...
متن کاملIntervertebral Disc Dynamics and Degeneration
Degenerative disc disease is a serious health problem worldwide, whose etiological basis – mechanical stimulus, biochemical changes, or natural aging – is poorly understood. While the disc’s known function is that of dynamic shock absorber, its dynamic response has not been fully characterized throughout the disc health spectrum (from healthy to degenerate). Therefore, this study aimed to corre...
