What is sacralized l5?

Sacralized L5 refers to a condition in which the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5) either partially or fully fuses with the sacrum, the triangular bone at the base of the spine. This anatomical variation can affect spinal mobility and may lead to altered biomechanics in the lower back. While many individuals with sacralized L5 may remain asymptomatic, it can sometimes be associated with lower Back pain or other spinal issues. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging studies like X-rays or MRI.
