The tiny plates: which help stabilize the veterbrae one with another are missing at the 5th Lumbar Veertebral level causing a SLIPPAGE of the L-5 veterbrae on the sacrum (S1). this is associated with a smaller height of two of the veterbrae ABOVE the defect T-12 (the lowest chest (thoracic) veterbrae and the highest Lumbar (low back) veterbrae..... Hope this helps..difficult to explain without a "pointer" Z
