Traumatic retrolisthesis of the lumbar spine is a rare clinical entity. Only a few case reports have shown retrolisthesis of the fractured fragment over the inferior vertebral body. Fracture dislocations of the spine are unstable injuries that require operative fixation to restore alignment and prevent progressive deformity. We present the case of a traumatic L5-S1 fracture dislocation with ret...

traumatic retrolisthesis is a rare injury and may result in intervertebral disc extrusion and nerve root injury. these injuries are highly unstable and require surgery for decompression and stabilization. traumatic retrolisthesis of l5 with acute l5/s1 disc extrusion associated with nerve root injury has not been reported previously in english literatures. we herein report a case of traumatic r...

Study Design Case report. Objective The diagnosis and surgical management of a patient with traumatic bilateral posterior dislocation of L4-L5 is presented with a thorough review of the existing literature. Summary of Background Data Traumatic dislocation of L4-L5 has been reported in the English literature in only five cases; of these, only two were retrolisthesis. Methods A 20-year-old patien...

Burst fractures of the spine account for 14% of all spinal injuries. Lower lumbar burst fracture with retrolisthesis is a rare presentation of traumatic cause. Management of this type of fracture are controversial and depends on plenty of factors like age of patient, type of injury, neurological deficit, associated comorbit injury. Here we are discussing a rarest case of traumatic burst fractur...

OBJECTIVE Posterior vertebral translation as a type of spondylolisthesis, retrolisthesis is observed commonly in patients with degenerative spinal problems. Nevertheless, there is insufficient literature on retrolisthesis compared to anterolisthesis. The purpose of this study is to clarify the clinical features of retrolisthesis, and its developmental mechanism associated with a compensatory ro...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Retrolisthesis is relatively rare but when present has been associated with increased back pain and impaired back function. Neither the prevalence of this condition in individuals with lumbar disc herniations nor its possible relation to preoperative back pain and dysfunction has been well studied. PURPOSE The purposes of this study were as follows: (1) to determine the pre...

STUDY DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE To clarify the influence of cervical spondylolisthesis on neurological outcomes in cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) patients after cervical laminoplasty. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Studies focusing on the surgical outcomes in CSM patients with cervical spondylolisthesis are limited. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 125 CSM patie...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the identification of degenerative lesions of the lumbar spine with multiplanar reformatted images and 3-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT). METHODS Fifty-three patients with degenerative spinal disease findings on lumbar CT scanning were reviewed in this retrospective study at the Department of Radiology, Medical Faculty, Sutcu Imam University, Kahramanmaras, Turke...
