Lumbarization and sacralization: Domains of their co‐occurrence with other costal‐vertebral transformations are not identical
Robert G. Tague
Abstract:ObjectivesThis study evaluates whether sacralization of a lumbar vertebra and lumbarization of a sacral vertebra are a paired duality but with opposite expressions; the former is associated with 23 presacral vertebrae (PSV) and the latter with 25 PSV. Are sacralization and lumbarization local phenomena, involving only vertebra (V) 24 and V25, or are they associated with other costal‐vertebral transformations?Materials and MethodsStudy sample is of skeletonized humans, 431 females and 1405 males, who were 20–49… Show more
