Guide to lumbar spondylosis in the L5 to S1 vertebrae This type of spondylosis is called L5-S1 spondylosis because it is found in the last vertebra of the lumbar spine (L5) and the first vertebra of the sacral spine (S1). Most patients over the age of 50 have some form of mild to progressive spondylosis in the lumbar spine.

Vertebral Body and Spinal Compression Fractures Compression fractures often result in a loss of vertebral height, and restoring that height is the goal of surgeries commonly done for this injury. The loss of height is generally due to the restructuring of the front of the spinal bone, i.e., the vertebral body, in to a wedge shape, which tends to happen as a result of the collapse.

Traumatic spondylolisthesis of the axis (hangmanâs fracture), type 1 Traumatic spondylolisthesis of the axis (hangman’s fracture), type 1. Discussion. Traumatic spondylolisthesis is the second most common injury of the axis, following fractures of the odontoid.1 This injury has been termed hangman's fracture due to its similarity to that seen following judicial hangings.

Causes of Spinal Compression Fractures If you’re nearing age 60, it may be a sign that you have tiny cracks in the bones called vertebrae that form your spine. When these small hairline fractures add up, they can eventually cause a vertebra to collapse, which is called spinal compression fracture.

- A stress fracture of the lower leg is an overuse injury. It can be difficult to diagnose due to vague discomfort and generalized pain over the muscles of the lower leg and are often misdiagnosed as shin splints. They come on slowly over time from repetitive trauma to the muscles and bones, often due to overuse.

What is a Compression Fracture? A compression fracture is nearly always a serious injury, because the spinal cord is near each of the vertebrae and is at risk whenever they shift. A compression fracture is most likely to be caused by serious trauma to the spine, particularly in the case of falling from an extreme height. Because of the force necessary to cause compression fractures, they often occur in tandem with other injuries, including damage to the spinal cord and severe ligament damage.

- The top sacral vertebra (S1) connects to the last lumbar vertebra (L5 or L6), and the lowest sacral vertebra (S5) connects to the coccyx, or tailbone. The first vertebra of the sacral spine, S1, is one of the most common vertebrae susceptible to injuries like a pinched nerve, bulging disc or herniated disc. Whether due to age or injury, the protective discs between our vertebrae can be weakened to the point that they swell (bulge) or break open (rupture).
