Multilevel Thoracolumbar Spondylolysis with Spondylolisthesis at L4 on L5
A 24-year-old male patient was initially evaluated for persistent back pain. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 7 points. Physical examination revealed a decreased range of lumbar spinal motion, which caused pain. Simple X-ray revealed Meyerding grade 1 spondylolisthesis at L4 on L5, with mild dome-shaped superior endplate and consecutive multilevel spondylolysis at T12-L5. Standing ante...
متن کاملSacralization of L5 in Radiological Studies of Degenerative Spondylolisthesis at L4-L5
STUDY DESIGN Radiological analysis. PURPOSE To investigate sacralization of L5 on radiological studies of degenerative spondylolisthesis at L4-L5. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Degenerative spondylolisthesis commonly develops at L4-L5. Sacralization of L5 is thought to cause stress concentration at this level, which accentuates degenerative changes and promotes development of degenerative spondylo...
متن کاملSpondylolisthesis and spondylolysis.
Spondylolisthesis is a common condition that can be managed both nonsurgically and surgically. More than 80% of children treated nonsurgically have resolution of symptoms. For those patients requiring surgical treatment, fusion in situ may provide adequate treatment for young patients. Patients with neural compression may require decompression to relieve symptoms, and fusion is also usually ind...
متن کاملMild (not severe) disc degeneration is implicated in the progression of bilateral L5 spondylolysis to spondylolisthesis
BACKGROUND Spondylolytic (or lytic) spondylolisthesis is often associated with disc degeneration at the index-level; however, it is not clear if disc degeneration is the cause or the consequence of lytic spondylolisthesis. The main objective of this computed tomography based finite element modelling study was to examine the role of different grades of disc degeneration in the progression of a b...
متن کاملDoes pre-existing L5-S1 degeneration affect outcomes after isolated L4-5 fusion for spondylolisthesis?
BACKGROUND Concerns have been raised regarding residual symptoms of caudal segment (L5-S1) degeneration that may affect clinical outcomes or require additional surgery after isolated L4-5 fusion, especially if there is pre-existing L5-S1 degeneration. This study aimed to evaluate the L5-S1 segment after minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion at the L4-5 segment, as well as the influence of ...
