A member asked:
Just diagnosed with lumbar spine and pelvis demonstrating l5-s1 anterolisthesis due to l5 spondylolysis. what does this mean? spondylolysis
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Anterolisthesis is where one bone in the spine is shifted forward on the other, and spondylolysis means the development of a stress fracture in an area of the spine known as the pars. So basically, you have developed a pars fracture that has allowed the L5 vertebrae to shift forward on the first sacral vertebrae.
