Spanish term or phrase: · Condiciones degenerativas en la columna lumbo-sacra de uno y dos niveles
Hello everyone,
My question here is how to translate the "de uno y dos niveles" and where to put it in the sentence. Does anyone know if it refers to the lumbosacral spine itself, or to the degenerative condition?
Many thanks in advance,
Paul

agree  Karla Mabarak: I agree---the levels are talking about the lumbosacral spine. The translation should be one "AND" two levels "OF" the lumbosacral spine

Explanation:
Paul,
The "AND" in this construction is a bit confusing. I think the levels refer to the lumbosacral spine itself. Each level or segment in the spine provides innervation for a sepcific area. For ex. if only the lumbar part of the spine is considered, the levels/segments are 5, starting from the 12th dorsal level and going towards the sacral area: 1; 2; 3; 4; and 5. Then comes the sacral level 1.

In your text it seems that the condition has affected either 1 or 2 levels of the lumbar spine. That's why the "and" between "1" & "2" is a bit odd. It's likely that they meant "1 OR 2".

Or, if the "and" is correct, it could be that the condition affects 1 level in one side of the body (for ex, the left side), and 2 levels in the other side (the right side).

Suerte
Elena
