Bone windows reveal a fracture of the right transverse process of l1 what does this mean ?

You have fracture: You have fracyure of the transver process.The transverse process is part of the musculoskeletal system. The transverse process is a bony structure that protrudes from each side of the vertebrae, which means that there are two transverse processes connected to each vertebrae of the spine. These processes are responsible for attaching muscles and ligaments to the spinal column.
