Abstract
This study aimed to describe the types of lumbosacral transitional vertebra as classified by Castellvi et al. Furthermore, this study focuses on investigating whether the presence of such anatomic variation is associated with listhesis of the lumbosacral spine. In this respect, those with lumbosacral transitional vertebra who may predisposed to spondylolisthesis may be identified, adequately advised, and properly managed. The researcher conducted this study at the X-ray section of the Department of Radiology of De La Salle University Medical Center, a tertiary hospital located in Dasmariñas City, Cavite, covering the period of January 2015 through January 2019. The study showed that lumbosacral transitional vertebra was present in 949 of the 5,211 subjects included in the study, with type IB as the most prevalent. There is female predominance of the subjects at 59.6% which could suggest that back pain is more common in females.
