The lumbosacral region of the spine is most susceptible to pathology in large breed dogs. common pathologies this segment include intervertebral disk discopathy, distortion vertebral vertebrae, narrowing canal and congenital defects spine. This area commonly affected by physical trauma or aging-related conditions leading a wide range symptoms, such as pain loss mobility.

Study Design Case report. Objective To analyze the surgical difficulties in restoring global spinal stability and to describe an effective surgical option for tuberculosis with extensive destruction of the lumbosacral spine. Advanced tuberculosis with destruction of the lumbosacral spine can result in a kyphosis or hypolordosis, leading to back pain, spinal instability, and neurological deficit...

The lumbosacral area is one of the most frequently operated spine regions because of the prevalence of disease in that area. Although a lumbosacral soft tissue defect after surgery due to inflammation and other causes is rare, such soft tissue defects are difficult to treat. Therefore, suitable methods for treating lumbosacral soft tissue defects are necessary. Therefore, this study introduces ...

OBJECTIVES This study sets out to prospectively investigate the incidence of transitional vertebrae and numerical variants of the spine. MATERIALS AND METHODS Over a period of 28 months, MRIs of the whole spine were prospectively evaluated for the presence of transitional lumbosacral vertebrae and numerical variants of the spine. RESULTS MRI of the whole spine was evaluated in 420 patients,...

Study Design Descriptive cross-sectional study. Purpose To determine the frequency of lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) in patients with low back pain (LBP) and the role of iliolumbar ligament (ILL) origin from L5 in LSTV cases. Overview of Literature Transitional vertebrae are developmental variants of the spine. LSTV is a common congenital abnormality, and failure to recognize thi...

The German Shepherd is among the breeds most prone to pathologies of lumbosacral spine. aim study was examine how presence spine pathology affects shape lumbar and dimensions individual vertebrae. Mathematical analysis consisted three measurements for each vertebra. Based on analysis, it concluded that there a correlation between height first five vertebrae occurrence transitional vertebra (LTV...

PURPOSE To evaluate prospectively the unoperated lumbosacral spine by gadolinium-enhanced MR for evidence of clinically correlative abnormal enhancement of nerve roots. METHODS Two hundred patients were prospectively studied with intravenous gadolinium- (0.1 mmol/kg) enhanced MR. Evidence was sought of intrathecal enhancement of lumbosacral nerve root(s), and the correlation of this enhanceme...

INTRODUCTION Lumbosacral fracture dislocation is a rare entity mainly occurred in high-energy trauma accidents. In this unstable injury, anatomical separation of the spinal column from pelvis is usually associated with severe neurological deficits. CASE PRESENTATION We described a 16-year-old girl with extremely severe axial trauma to the lumbosacral spine who presented with fracture dislocat...

Lumbosacral transitional vertebra is a common congenital anomaly of the spine in dogs. It is a predisposing factor for degeneration of the lumbosacral spine and development of cauda equina syndrome or hip dysplasia in affected dogs. The aim of the study was to determine breed predisposition, types, and prevalence of lumbosacral transitional vertebrae in the canine population in the Czech Republ...
