ABSTRACT
Lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) is a common phenomena of developmental anomaly, which is characterized by anatomic variation and biomechanical changes. LSTV is often accompanied with low back pain, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spinal stenosis, lumbar spondylolisthesis and other spinal diseases. The diagnosis of LSTV has a great significance for proper treatment process. Early imageological studies have limitations on distinguishing different types of LSTV from the aspect of morphological changes. This review focuses on recent studies of LSTV anatomy and variation, its influence in local biomechanics and spinal alignment, and its relationship with spinal diseases.
