The sacrum (/ËsÃ¦krÉm/ or /ËseÉªkrÉm/; plural: sacra or sacrums; Latin os sacrum) in human anatomy is a large, triangular bone at the base of the spine, that forms by the fusing of sacral vertebrae S1âS5, between 18 and 30 years of age. The sacrum articulates (forms a joint) with four other bones.
Unlike the individual vertebrae in other regions of the spine, the vertebrae in the sacral region as well as the coccyx are fused. The coccyx (also called the tailbone) is located at the base of the spine and is composed of four fused vertebrae.Ligaments attach the coccyx to the sacral hiatus at the synovial sacro-coccygeal joint.1  See also: Anatomy of the Coccyx (Tailbone).he sacral region (sacrum) is at the bottom of the spine and lies between the fifth segment of the lumbar spine (L5) and the coccyx (tailbone).
