Abstract
This study investigated the features of lumbo-sacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) in younger patients. 50 teenagers were examined and compared with 237 patients from all generations (ISTV group). In addition 408 patients with low back pain who visited our clinic (LBP group) were reviewed.Patients with ISTV were selected who had Type II (articular type) and Type III (fusion type) of posterior elements according to our classification system and type 1-3 for anterior elements.The frequency of LSTV in the LBP group was higher in younger patients. Spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis were almost the same frequency in the 3 groups.Posterior slip had the highest frequency in the younger group (64%), followed by the ISTV group (50%), and 23% in the LBP group. ISTV was seen in younger groups more frequently than in other age groups.In conclusion, patients with ISTV were frequently seen in the teenage age group.
