Is retrolithesis permanent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
X-ray finding: Retrolisthesis is a finding on an x-ray examination. It refers to the position of one vertebra against another. It depends why the positional change occurs. It may progress or remain the same. Unless it is associated with a problem it may not have any significance. Discuss this with your doctor.
