A member asked:

What to do if i have a lumbar sacral transitional vertebrae with a left sided pseudarthrosis, what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal variant: This may be a normal variant, where the bottom disc is not fully formed, and may be partially fused to the sacrum or tail bone. Not necessarily a problem.

Dr Fowler and 3 doctors agreed
