Is a Fracture of the Transverse Process of L5 an Indicator of the Presence and/or Severity of a Pelvic Fracture?

Introduction A transverse process of L5 (L5TP) fracture may be associated with the presence and/or severity of a pelvic fracture. However, there is little evidence to support this view. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between L5 TP fracture and the presence and/or severity of a pelvic fracture on radiograph and CT.
