Popis: Amongst the out-patients in recent two years, we found one hundred eighty Lumbosacral trasitional Vertebrae.These cases were classfied into four groups according to Jinnaka.Type IT was the most frequent, being observed in 86 cases (47.8%), followed by Type IV in 49 cases (27.2%), and Type III in 29 cases (16.1%).In patients younger than 23 years old, the hypermobile discs were found at the level just above the transition in Type II, III and IV.This may be a cause of increased of degenerative disc disease.
