A member asked:
What is facet hypertrophy with 2 mm anterolisthesis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Malalignment: Degeneration of the spine occurs typically with some disk dehydration followed by facet joint enlargement (hypertrophy). In some patients this will lead to joint capsule laxity allowing the vertebrae to slide forward on the vertebrae below. This is called an anterolisthesis or spondylolisthesis.
