Spondylolisthesis

Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue

Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one spinal vertebra slips out of place relative to another. Some medical dictionaries define it specifically as forward, or anterior, displacement of a vertebra over the one below it, while medical textbooks often define it more broadly as displacement in any direction.
