For the C3-L5 vertebrae there are five secondary ossification centers that appear at puberty and fuse by 25-30 years 1-4: one at the tip of the spinous process. one at the tip of each transverse process (two in total) two as ring (or annular) epiphyses at the upper and lower surfaces of the vertebral bodies.
At what age do the Pedicles fuse to the vertebral bodies?
Failure of a ring epiphysis to unite may occur, known as a limbus vertebra. Again, individual secondary centers ossify at different ages, but in general terms, fusion is complete at 25 years old.
Which spinal bones are typically fused?
The spinal column is a composed of 33 spine bones (vertebrae), with the lower 9 vertebrae being fused (grown together) called the sacrum and coccyx.
