Sacrovertebral angle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sacrovertebral angle

Lumbar vertebrae are yellow, and sacrum is green.
Gray's	subject #24 106

The sacrum is curved upon itself and placed very obliquely, its base projecting forward and forming the prominent sacrovertebral angle when articulated with the last lumbar vertebra.

It is also known as the "lumbosacral angle".^[1]
