Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis is a medical term used for spine slippage. The human spine has a perfectly aligned S shape, but spondylolisthesis distorts this alignment. With spondylolisthesis, a vertebra slips forward or backward onto the vertebra below.
Depending on the cause, spondylolisthesis can be classified into 5 different types: degenerative, isthmic, dysplastic/congenital, pathogenic, and traumatic spondylolisthesis.
-
Degenerative spondylolisthesis is most commonly caused by degenerative diseases.
-
Isthmic spondylolisthesis affects both adults and children. It is generally caused by a small fracture(s) in the pars interarticularis, part of the facet joint.
-
Dysplastic spondylolisthesis, also known as congenital spondylolisthesis, is a result of a congenital birth defect.
-
Pathogenic spondylolisthesis is caused by diseases such as tumors or infections.
-
Traumatic spondylolisthesis is the result of a bone fracture from a traumatic event.
Spondylolisthesis can occur anywhere on the spine, it is most common in the lower back and is a common source of lower back pain. Even though in many cases, the symptoms can be improved with non-surgical treatments, serious spondylolisthesis may need surgery. Symptoms of spondylolisthesis can be extremely painful and debilitating. Sufferers often have trouble working, as function is limited and walking is difficult.
