Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebrae (LSTV) is the rare medical term used to describe congenital or acquired of lumbosacral vertebral junction abnormalities associated with without pain at lower back (Almeida, et al. [1]).

Isthmic spondylolisthesis is a common pathology in the population, often diagnosed people of working age. On issues etiopathogenesis, as well classification this pathology, researchers have no consensus. Currently, literature provides different opinions on clinical features, evaluation, and treatment tactics. The presented work includes current information from world etiology, classification, c...

Disc-hernia and spondylolisthesis are the major disorders related to vertebral column. Expert medical doctors examine the pelvis and lumbar spine shape and orientation to diagnose the disorder. However some shape and orientation parameters may be misleading and are unclear. Therefore recently the automatic diagnosis methods (classification methods) have been proposed to help medical doctors. Ho...

Spondylolisthesis in adults is characterized by the loss of disc height across the affected segment with sagital translation. The goal of stabilizing the spine is accomplished by fusion. Transforaminal approach for lumbar interbody fusion is a very good approach and reduces the complications associated with traditional posterior approach. It has been reported to be safe and effective in the tre...

background lumbar plexus block (lpb) is one of the anesthetic options in the elderly patients undergoing hip surgeries. lpb could be safe because it targets somatic nerve in psoas region. effectiveness of lpb is attributed to the sufficient analgesia provided intraoperatively as well as postoperatively. adequate muscle relaxation and immobility during surgery refers to its acceptability. object...

Degenerative spondylolisthesis is a common cause of low back pain and resultant disability in the adult population. The causes degenerative are not entirely understood, though combination anatomic lifestyle factors likely contributes to development this pathology. Here, we report case 38-year-old female presenting with right lower extremity radiculopathy, found have L5-S1 spondylolisthesis, whi...

Spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis are often diagnosed in children presenting with low back pain. Spondylolysis refers to a defect of the vertebral pars interarticularis. Spondylolisthesis is the forward translation of one vertebral segment over the one beneath it. Isthmic spondylolysis, isthmic spondylolisthesis, and stress reactions involving the pars interarticularis are the most common for...
