Abstract :

Degenerative spondylolisthesis is a common cause of spondylolisthesis contributing to about 25% of all cases of spondylolisthesis. A 52 year old obese female patient came with a 10 year history of low back ache. X–ray lumbar spine showed anterior spondylolisthesis Grade III of L5 over S1. MRI of LS spine showed bilateral narrowing of the neural foramina at L5–S1 level. Conservative treatment failed to provide pain relief therefore the patient was treated with posterior stabilization and cage fixation at L5–S1 level.
