Spondylolisthesis is a condition characterized by the forward displacement of one vertebra over another, most commonly occurring in the lumbar spine. It can result from various causes, including congenital abnormalities, degenerative changes, traumatic injuries, or repetitive stress on the spine. Spondylolisthesis can be categorized into different types, including isthmic, degenerative, traumatic, and pathological.
The causes of spondylolisthesis vary depending on the type, but common contributing factors include:

• Isthmic Spondylolisthesis: This type is often caused by a defect or stress fracture in the pars interarticularis, a small bridge of bone connecting the facet joints. It can be the result of a genetic predisposition or repetitive stress activities such as gymnastics or weightlifting.
• Degenerative Spondylolisthesis: Typically associated with age-related wear and tear, degenerative spondylolisthesis occurs when the spinal discs and facet joints deteriorate, causing the vertebrae to slip forward. It is most common in individuals over the age of 50.
• Traumatic Spondylolisthesis: Trauma or injury to the spine, such as fractures or dislocations, can lead to spondylolisthesis. This type of spondylolisthesis is often caused by high-impact accidents or falls.
• Pathological Spondylolisthesis: In rare cases, spondylolisthesis can result from underlying conditions such as tumors or infections, weakening the integrity of the spine.

The symptoms of spondylolisthesis can vary based on the severity and location of the vertebral displacement. Common symptoms include:

• Complains of low back pain and pain along the course of the nerves that are pinched by the spondylolisthesis.
• The back pain typically occurs in the area of the lower lumbar spine and often radiates around the abdomen and into the buttocks. The location of the nerve root pain depends upon where the slip is occurring and where the nerve roots are compressed.
