The present study was carried out on the lumbar vertebrae of adult Blue bull (Boselaphus tragocamelus) of either sex. Biometrical observations on different parameters of lumbar vertebrae reflected significance (P Less than 0.05) differences between the sexes of this species. It was confirmed that the average length of body gradually decreased from fourth to sixth lumbar vertebrae in the Blue bull. The average transverse diameter or width of vertebral canal and average vertical diameter or height of the vertebral canal was largest in the sixth lumbar vertebra. The average length of transverse process gradually increased from fourth to fifth lumbar vertebra and then it suddenly decreased in the sixth lumbar vertebra. The average height of the dorsal supraspinous process gradually decreased from fourth to sixth lumbar vertebrae and it was lowest in the sixth one. The data on the biometry of fourth, fifth and sixth lumbar vertebrae of Blue bull would develop a baseline that could be useful to the wild life Veterinarians in identification and solving vetero-legal cases.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Sacralization of L5 is a congenital anomaly, in which the lumbar vertebra, mainly its transverse process, gets fused or semi-fused with the sacrum or the ilium or to both. This fusion can occur in one or both sides of the body. Sacralization leads to fusion of the L5 (fifth lumbar vertebra) and S1 (first sacral vertebra) and the inter-vertebral disc between them may be narrow. Sacralization of lumbar vertebra may be asymptomatic but is not always clinically insignificant. While sacralization may not affect at all, it can cause problems in some cases. Sacralization may be at times associated with problems in biomechanics and affect the ways of movement and posture control. Sacralization may also be an important consideration in disc surgeries.

Background: The Blue bull (Boselaphus tragocamelus) is one of the biggest antelopes in Asia and is widely distributed in both the forests and adjoining villages with enough green grass.Methods: The present study was carried out on the mandible of six specimens of adult Blue bull (Boselaphus tragocamelus) of either sex. The biometrical parameters were measured by scale, graduated tape and digital Vernier’s caliper. The statistical analysis of the recorded data was done by independent samples t-Test with Systat Software Inc, USA and SPSS 16.0 version software.Result: The mandible of Blue bull consisted of two rami, i.e. horizontal and vertical rami. The two halves of this bone fused incompletely at the mandibular symphysis, situated at the midline. The average length of horizontal ramus of mandible was found to be 24.7±1.02 cm in female, which was significantly less (P less than 0.05) than that of males, where it was recorded as 35.4±1.97 cm. Similarly, the average thickness of vertical ramus at the base was found to be 0.53±0.001 cm in female, which was significantly less (P less than 0.05) than that of males, where it was recorded as 0.80±0.002 cm. The average cranio-caudal length of mandibular notch was found to be 1.32±0.01 cm in female, which was significantly less (P less than 0.05) than that of males, where it was recorded as 1.44±0.02 cm. Most of the biometrical observations on different parameters of mandible of Blue bull were having significantly (P less than 0.05) more values in males than females. Conclusion: Most of the biometrical observations on different parameters of mandible of Blue bull were having significantly (p less than 0.05) more values in males than females. The present gross and biometrical studies would be useful to the wild life professionals for determination of sex of this animal and solving vetero-legal cases related with this species.

Lumbosacral Dislocation

A 35-year-old man was struck by a car on his right side and presented with paraparesis of both lower extremities. Radiographic examination revealed multiple transverse process fractures and anterior displacement of L5 on S1. Computed tomography revealed a bilateral anterior facet dislocation of the fifth lumbar vertebra on the sacrum. MRI showed rupture of the posterior ligamentous complex. A posterior lumbar interbody fusion using two intersomatic cages and pedicle screw instrumentation and posterior fusion were performed. Although no major disc lesion was found at the level of L5-S1 on preoperative MRI, a severely collapsed L5-S1 disc was found intraoperatively. Two years after surgery, the patient was asymptomatic with normal neurological findings, and has resumed normal activity. We believe that lumbosacral dislocation can be considered a three-column injury with an L5-S1 disc lesion, and, therefore, requires a solid circumferential segmental arthrodesis to improve fusion rate.

Summary Objective: To describe the surgical management and long-term outcome of a spinal gunshot injury in a cat. Clinical report: A two-year-old, 4.2 kg castrated European Shorthair male cat was referred for evaluation of bilateral acute hind-limb paralysis with loss of deep pain perception in the right hindlimb associated with a perforating gunshot wound in the left side of the flank. Based on the clinical findings, the injury was localized to the fourth lumbar-first sacral spinal cord segment. The orthogonal spinal radiographs and computed tomography examination showed several metal pellet fragments within the vertebral canal of the sixth lumbar vertebra. A left mini-hemilaminectomy of the sixth lumbar vertebra pedicle combined with a mini dorsal laminectomy over the sixth to seventh lumbar vertebrae disc space were performed. A 2.4 mm 30° arthroscope was then introduced within the spinal canal to improve visibility and help with the fragment extraction. The cat was discharged from the hospital five days after surgery and the owners were encouraged to continue passive and active physiotherapy movements. Results: The cat was ambulatory with a plantigrade stance eight weeks following surgery. At the last follow-up examination (24 months postoperatively), the cat was able to jump on chairs, although intermittent urinary and faecal incontinence, proprioceptive deficits, and plantigrade stance were still present. Clinical significance: Decompressive surgery may promote neurological status improvement following spinal gunshot injury.

And Control

A series of 202 patients (133 men, 69 women) with spondylolysis were examined with respect to radiographic variables describing lumbosacral lordosis, size of lumbar vertebrae, transverse processes and disc height. An age-standardized and sex-stratified comparison was made with a control group of 170 subjects (68 men, 102 women) without lumbar spine disorders. The difference in ***lumbosacral lordosis between the spondylolysis and control groups was considered to be secondary to olisthesis, and to lack an etiologic role for the genesis of lysis. The lengths of the transverse processes and their distances to the crista iliaca posterior demonstrated no differences between the groups and therefore did not seem relevant to the context of the pathogenesis of spondylolysis. The fifth lumbar vertebra in the spondylolytic patients was more wedged and less wide than in the controls. The question of the primary or secondary nature of this change has not yet been clearly elucidated, and should be given further attention. The spondylolytic patients demonstrated a decrease in the height of the L5-S1 disc much earlier than the controls, and the degree of narrowing of the disc space was much more marked.

The Relationship

Sacralization is an embryo congenital defect in which the fifth lumbar vertebra is fused to the sacrum in various degrees. The prevalence of sacralization is 7.5 percent. Sacralization can be unilateral or bilateral. This disorder arises due to irregularities in the lumbosacral spine segmentation during development. Transverse process of the L5 on one side or both sides is wider than usual and fuses into the sacrum or ilium or both in the sacralization of the fifth lumbar vertebra. Low back pain is the most common symptom in most of the population throughout their lifetime. As low back pain is a leading cause of disability, interfering with quality of life and job outcomes our goal is to assess the association between sacralisation and low back pain. Purpose: To study the relationship between sacralization and low back pain. Because the role of sacralization throughout causing LBP is still controversial. This is the observational study which includes 55 participants who have low back ache. The participants are between the ages 60 to 70 years. The intensity of pain was assessed through NPRS. To assess the relationship between Sacralization and low back pain, all the participants were sent for Xray and the presence of Sacralization was assessed by X-ray. We found that there was a significant relationship between sacralization and low back pain. The patients with sacralization show the high intensity of low back pain. We concluded that Sacralization affects the lumbosacral spine in different ways and result in pain in lower back. And there is significant association of sacralization with low back ache.
