“…It is a wedge-shaped bone present between the two hip bones and takes part in forming the bony pelvis. It is triangular with its upper end or base, which articulates with the fifth lumbar vertebra, lower end or apex, which articulates with the coccyx, and its auricular surfaces articulating with the two hip bones in an adult individual (1)(2)(3). The anterior surface of this bone is concave, and the posterior surface is convex (1).…”

AİM: The merger of the fifth lumbar vertebrae with the first sacral vertebrae is called the sacralization of the lumbar vertebrae. The purpose of this study, changes in os sacrum with sacralization were detected and morphometric measurements were made. Material and Methods: Measurements on a total of 30 sacrum bones in the laboratory from the Department of Anatomy were carried out using a digital plot with a sensitivity of 0.01 millimeters (mm). Os sacrum measurements were taken. Results: In one of the examined sacrums, it was found that tuberositas ossis sacri had the form of a pit, and on the underside of it there was a pronounced groove. The processus transverse of the last lumbar vertebra, which fused with the os sacrum, was not noticeably fused. Partial sacralization was detected in the linea transversa at the anterior junction of the os sacrum and the last lumbar vertebra. In the sacrums examined, 21 of them were found to have four foramina sacralias, 9 of them were found to be variated, and five of them were found to be foramina sacraliae, and these bones were found to be varied. Measurements of the right and left foramen were taken and the MLU and MTU values of the variated and normal sacrums and MLU and MTU values were not statistically significant (p

The sacra were grossly examined. Twenty sacra were damaged therefore were excluded from the study. Ultimately, sixty sacra were seen. The number of dorsal sacral foramina in each of the remaining sacrum was counted. The result obtained was analyzed and discussed. RESULTS Sixty adult dry human sacra were examined. Three pairs of dorsal sacral foramina were present lateral to intermediate crest in 4 sacra (6.6%) (Figure 3) and five ABSTRACT Lateral side of each intermediate crest has four dorsal sacral foramina for the passage of posterior division of the sacral nerves. Not only they serve as an important landmark in placement of spinal instrumentation but are also of great importance in transsacral block of sacral nerves for producing analgesia and anesthesia in pelvic surgeries. Therefore a study on the variation in number of dorsal sacral foramina was conducted in 60 adult dry North Indian sacra. Three dorsal sacral foramina were seen on the lateral side of each intermediate crest in four sacra (6.6%) and five in 6 sacra (10%) amongst all the sacra examined. Either a single pair, double pair or totally absent foramina were not observed in any of the sacra seen. This study revealed that there is variation in the number of dorsal sacral foramina. Anaesthetists should be aware of this disparity to be able to perform trans-sacral nerve block successfully. Radiologists must also know about this variation to interpret the radiographs of lumbosacral region. Neurologist and orthopedist should also be cognizant of this fact to diagnose patients presenting with bizarre clinical findings.
