A member asked:
What does it mean when you break the cartilage in your l2 vertebrae?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trauma to spine: There are a few places on the vertebra that have cartilage. These are the area where the disc attaches to the bone and where the different vertebrae attach at the facet joints. A fracture of cartilage would most likely be associated with a broken bone as well.
