Clasp-knife deformity is relatively common anomaly found at the lumbosacral junction and characterized by a large midline defect of the posterior arch of the sacrum (usually S1/S2 and occasionally S3) along with hypertrophy (or overgrowth) of the spinous process of vertebra above (usually L5).
病變是較罕見的頸骶部異常；特點是骶骨後繩的中線的大塊發育不良（一般而言S1/S2和偶爾是S3）伴其上椎體（一般而言是頸5）棘突肥大（或過度生長）。
When a Clasp-knife deformity is accompanied by pain on extension secondary to protrusion of the enlarged spinous process (knife blade) into the sacral spinal c, it is called Clasp-knife syndrome.
