Evolution of Lumbar Degenerative Spondylolisthesis with Key Radiographic Features
Spondylolisthesis is a common finding in middle-aged and older adults with back pain. The pathophysiology of degenerative spondylolisthesis is a subject of controversy regarding not only its etiology but also the mechanisms of its progression. It is theorized that degeneration of the facets and discs can lead to segmental instability, leading to displacement over time. Kirkaldy-Willis divided degenerative spondylolisthesis into three phases: dysfunction, instability, and finally, restabilization. (Source: The Spine Journal)
