- The prevalence of lumbar or sacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) in the population ranges from 4% to 30%, and little research has focused on the conus medullaris (CM) position in those with LSTV.
- A study analyzed spinal MRI data from 822 patients over 10 years, finding that the CM levels varied based on whether patients had lumbarized or sacralized vertebrae.
- The findings revealed that individuals with lumbarized vertebrae had a lower CM level at L1-2, while those with sacralized vertebrae had a higher CM level at T12-L1, with no significant differences based on sex, age, or other pathologies except tethered cords
