Understanding the Importance of the Thoracolumbar Junction: Vulnerability to Injuries and Stresses Due to Spine Mobility

Thoracolumbar Junction specific vertebrae include:

T12L1T11

The Thoracolumbar Junction is the region located between the thoracic spine (upper back) and the lumbar spine (lower back). The specific vertebrae that constitute the Thoracolumbar Junction are:

1. T12 (twelfth thoracic vertebra)
2. L1 (first lumbar vertebra)

These two vertebrae are adjacent to each other and their proximity marks the transition from the thoracic spine to the lumbar spine. The Thoracolumbar Junction is an important region because it is particularly vulnerable to injuries due to the mobility and flexibility of the spine in this area and the stresses placed on it, especially during physical activity.
