To study the several changes of the disc just above the lumbo-sacral transitional vertebrae, the features of slipping at this level were examined in 216 patients who had lumbo-sacral transitional vertebrae in both anterior and posterior sides.Type II and type III of modified Custivelli's classification for the posterior element and the modified Wigh's Classification for anterior element were employed for this purpose. The results were compared with 597 patients with low back pain who visited our clinic.Isthmus spondylolisthesis (8 cases, 3.7%) was almost same as the frequency in our low back pain patients. The slight increase was shown in degenerative spondylolisthesis (30 cases, 14%). The greater incidence was proved in posterior slip (115 cases, 52.3%) in this series compared to the our low back pain group (19%). The almost same incidence was shown in young group and in old group. The slight increase was found in type I and type II in the anterior classication and in type IIb and type IIIb in the posterior classification. In conclusion, posterior slip at the spine just above the lumbo-sacral transitional vertebrae was one of the special features.
