Analysis of the Research Progress on the Impact of Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebra on the Lumbopelvic-Hip Complex

Abstract

The lumbosacral transitional vertebra is a common congenital variation. The presence of LSTV can result in smaller benefits for the population after total hip arthroplasty. Although extensive research has been conducted on the association between LSTV and lumbopelvic-hip complex syndrome in populations undergoing total hip arthroplasty, with convincing evidence suggesting that the presence of LSTV can have a negative impact on the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty, there is currently a lack of exploration into the association between LSTV and hip joint anatomical development, as well as its correlation with lumbopelvic-hip complex syndrome. The lumbopelvic-hip complex (LPHC) is a key structure for maintaining body stability and transmitting forces. Lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) is one of the most common congenital variations at the lumbosacral junction, which has a certain influence on the line of force transmission to the pelvis and hip joints and plays a role in the occurrence and development of hip and lumbar back pain.
