[Forensic identification for 16 cases with lumbar sacralization and lumbarization].
Lumbar sacralization and lumbarization are congenital spine malformation. 16 cases with lumbar sacralization or lumbarization were reviewed. Through studying the etiopathogenisis and clinical manifestation we analyze the relationship between injury and disease. 6 cases of 16 have lumbar sacralization. 10 cases are attributed to lumbarization. Most of this cases have backleg pain more or less. As a forensic doctor we suggest that pay more attention to this problem in our identify practice and locate the sequence of vertebral body more exactly.
