You apparently have a condition known as lumbarization of the sacrum. If on the plain x-ray you have what appears to be 6 lumbar vertebra instead of 5. This does not represent a disease entity. The fact that you had records describing 6 lumbar vertebra and elsewhere you are said to have 5 lumbar vertebra, is of no consequence unless it believes a surgeon to mistakenly operate at the wrong level. You do not hear described as having occurred. A medical malpractice claim is only proper if a health care provider because of a mistaken assessment causes you harm. Instead of assuming that something improper has occurred, you should simply discuss the matter with your primary care physician.
