Plain x-ray shows pseudo articulation of right L5
transverse process and sacrum (Figure 3).
Bony injuries may include vertebral fractures of the
transverse processes, spinous processes, and sacral promontory, as well as distant fractures such as in the ribcage or femur [36].
Rakan F Bokhari et al in 2012 claimed a higher prevalence of cervical rib and elongated C7
transverse processes as 3.4% and 23% respectively, in a population in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia13.
The poor known taxa from China Chinchenia sungi Young 1965, Kwangisaurus orientalis Young 1959, and Sanchiaosaurus dengi Young 1965, have prominent
transverse processes and, again, amphicoelous centra (Rieppel, 1999), unlike UPUAM 14072.

Fifteen
transverse process fractures were associated with vertebral artery injury.
The well-described transverse in-plane ultrasound-guided approach (1) involves visualisation of the pleura and
transverse process in long axis, by medio-lateral probe orientation (Figure 1) and placement of the needle tip deep to the
transverse process.
All the analysed trajectories were considered as starting from the same entry point, established at thelateral border of the superior facet where it intersects the midportion of the
transverse process.
If symptoms are present above the level of the L5
transverse process, it's unlikely the SI joint is the cause.
(1) The articular pillars are found behind each
transverse process at the junction of the pedicle and lamina.
