  • Title: Lumbosacral Transitional Segments: An Interventional Spine Specialist's Practical Approach.
    Author: Furman MB, Wahlberg B, Cruz EJ.
    Journal: Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am; 2018 Feb; 29(1):35-48. PubMed ID: 29173663.
    Abstract:
    The presence of a lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) should prompt a more detailed preprocedural evaluation of the vertebral column to accurately determine spinal levels. An LSTV should prompt the use of corroborating intraprocedural imaging to verify morphology. The most important factors in treating lumbosacral transitional segments are communication among treating physicians to ensure segmental enumeration consistency and associated appropriate patient treatment.
