pseudoarticulation?
What does it mean if there is partial sacralization of L5 with a left-sided pseudoarticulation which is sclerotic?

Hi!
In a normal spine all sacral vertebrae fuse to form one bone. This is separated from the fifth lumbar vertebra by an intervertebral disc. Sometimes, the L5 becomes a part of the sacral bone. This is called sacralization of L5. In your case the L5 is fused with sacral bone but on left side it gives a picture of a false joint which is showing degenerative changes. This can cause spinal nerve compression, numbness and pain. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!
