The thoracolumbar spine is the anatomical frontier where the thoracic spinal region meets the lumbar spinal region.he lumbar spine, on the other hand, is the place where disc degeneration and spinal arthritis are almost universal in human adults. The lower back must constantly bend and flex, carrying huge loads of stress which obvious wear down the vertebrae and intervertebral discs as part of their normal lifespans.
In the thoracolumbar spine there are three biomechanical regions. The upper thoracic region (T1-T8) is rigid due to the ribcage which provides stability.The transition zone T9-L2 is the transition between the rigid and kyphotic upper thoracic part and the flexible lordotic lumbar spine.n the thoracolumbar spine there are three biomechanical regions.
