Abstract

Background: Sacralization of Fifth lumbar (L5) is a congenital abnormality in which the lumbar vertebra, specifically its transverse process, becomes fused or semi-fused with the sacrum, ilium, or both. This fusion can happen on either one or both sides of the body. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of sacralisation of the transverse process of the fifth lumbar vertebrae. Methods: 40 adult human sacra were evaluated in the current study at the Department of Anatomy, Shree Shankaracharya Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhilai, C.G. Each sacra was examined for sacralisation and lumbarisation, the number of ventral and dorsal sacral foramen, the number of vertebral bodies, the sacral hiatus, and the sacral cornua. Results:In the present study out of forty sacral bones, there were 25 (62.5%) male sacral bones and 15 (37.5%) female sacral bones. Sacralization was found in 22.5% of cases. Among 9 sacralised bones, 66.67% were male bones and the remaining 33.33% were female bones. 6 bones showed bilateral sacralization and only 3 bones showed unilateral sacralization. Conclusion:Sacralisation knowledge is not only useful for orthopaedic surgeons, but also for Clinical Anatomists, Radiologists, Forensic specialists, Morphologists, Architects, and Anthropologists.
