Question

What is the best description of radiographic findings indicated by the arrows? a)There is a riblet on the left at Ll and right sacralization b)There is and enlarged right transverse processes at L1 and bilateral fusion at L5/ S1 c)There is a fractured transverse process on the right at L1, and evidence of spondylolisthesis d)There is a riblet on the right at T12 and left sacralization

Answer 1

The radiographic findings indicated by the arrows are consistent with a fractured transverse process at L1 and evidence of spondylolisthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The radiographic findings indicated by the arrows are consistent with option C, which states that there is a fractured transverse process on the right at L1, and evidence of spondylolisthesis. A fractured transverse process can be seen as a break in the bony protrusion on the right side of the vertebra at the level of L1. Spondylolisthesis refers to the anterior displacement of a vertebra in relation to the one below it.
