Identifying the relationship between lumbar sacralization and adjacent ligamentous anatomy in patients with Bertolotti syndrome and healthy controls.
McGrath KA, Lee J, Thompson NR, Kanasz J, Steinmetz MP. McGrath KA, et al. Among authors: steinmetz mp. J Neurosurg Spine. 2022 Feb 11;37(2):200-207. doi: 10.3171/2021.12.SPINE211116. Print 2022 Aug 1. J Neurosurg Spine. 2022. PMID: 35148504
OBJECTIVE: Bertolotti syndrome is a diagnosis given to patients experiencing low-back pain due to a lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV). LSTVs cause altered biomechanics at the lumbosacral junction, predisposing these patients to degenerative dise …
