Lumbar Spondylolisthesis
View through CrossRef
Lumbar spondylolisthesis typically presents as low back and/or lower extremity pain. Spondylolisthesis is most commonly observed in female patients and the elderly. Lumbar spondylolisthesis may result from congenital, isthmic, trauma-related, degenerative, and iatrogenic causes. Diagnostic imaging (radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging) and physical examination are needed to differentiate the categories of lumbar spondylolisthesis, which will assist in selecting the appropriate treatment. A customized interdisciplinary treatment plan tailored to the patient’s presentation and goals will produce clinical improvement. Surgical remediation is typically reserved for recalcitrant cases but can be effective.
