| | Spondylolisthesis/Spondylolysis |
| | Spondylolisthesis is one of the few spine problems that may be diagnosed with plain lumbar spine x-rays. | | | Spondylolisthesis is a medical term that refers to a slippage of one vertebral body over another. | | | The second pain presentation in spondylolisthesis is claudication type pain. |

| | This subtle movement may be an important part of the pain experienced and be essential to the planning for further treatment. | | | If you have spondylolisthesis with the slippage greater than 50 percent of the width of the adjacent vertebral body, then a fusion is required to stop further slippage and provide relief from the associated symptoms of instability and nerve root irritation. | | | A spondylolisthesis is graded according to the amount that one vertebral body has slipped forward on another. |

| | Spondylolisthesis describes a condition of forward slippage of one vertebrae in the spine over another. | | | Various surgical approaches have been developed to treat adult spondylolisthesis the treatment for spondylolisthesis must aim at not only freeing up a narrowed spinal canal (commonly called a decompression) but more importantly at stabilizing the spine in an optimal position. | | | Imaging tests, such as MRI and CT scans are very helpful in demonstrating the degree of spine slippage in spondylolisthesis and any areas of stenosis, or a 'pinched nerve' in a narrow spinal canal. |

| | Often, this degree of spondylolisthesis has put a lot of pressure and traction on the nerves of the spine, causing leg pain. | | | Third- and fourth-degree spondylolisthesis represent an inherently unstable spine. | | | The surgery may be required for second-degree spondylolisthesis. |

| | Isthmic Spondylolisthesis |
| | Spondylolisthesis is a spinal condition in which one vertebra slips forward over the vertebra below. | | | However, the forward slip of the vertebral body in severe cases of degenerative spondylolisthesis often leads to spinal stenosis, nerve compression, pain and neurological injury. | | | Degenerative spondylolisthesis, usually occurs in the lumbar spine, especially at L4-L5. |

| |
| | Isthmic Spondylolisthesis |
| | Although spondylolisthesis can be caused by various pathologic states in the spine, Isthmic Spondylolisthesis is produced when bones (pars interarticularis) connecting the facet joints in the posterior spine are fractured causing anteriolisthesis of the vertebra. | | | Unequivocally, isthmic spondylolisthesis should not be treated with decompression surgery only. | | | In general though, approximately 50% of individuals with Isthmic spondylolisthesis will seek treatment for low back pain at sometime during their life. |

| | Almost all of the dancers with spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis had a history of back pain but so did the dancers without these conditions. | | | A new study from Germany shows that asymptomatic young athletes with spondylolysis or low-grade spondylolisthesis generally do not experience pain or a significant progression of slippage if they resume intensive athletic training. | | | The dancers with spondylolysis/spondylolisthesis had slightly greater transient back symptoms associated with dance performance-typically in the hyperextended postures of the arabesque and in lifts-but the two groups had similar levels of sick leave and overall work disability. |

| | By using the simple anatomic concept that a spondylolisthesis associated with a break in the pars will demonstrate an increase in the sagittal diameter of the spinal canal, the two etiologies can be differentiated. | | | Generally, oblique views are performed to visualize the pars interarticularis if there is a spondylolisthesis. | | | Sometimes, however, the oblique view is not helpful because of marked degenerative facet changes that obscure the pars. |
