Fracture / Dislocation of Vertebra
What is Vertebral Dislocation?
Spondylolisthesis is characterized by the misalignment of one vertebra in relation to the others. If the vertebra is “out” to the front, this displacement is called anterolisthesis. Retrolisthesis is when the vertebra is bent backwards, and lateral spondylolisthesis is when it protrudes sideways.
The disease can occur at any age. It equally affects men and women, as well as children. Most often, spondylolisthesis occurs in the most mobile parts of the spine – the cervical and lumbar spine
Types of vertebral injuries
The two main types of injuries to the spinal bones (vertebrae) are fractures and dislocations. A fracture is a break to any part of the vertebrae. A dislocation is when the vertebrae do not line up correctly or are out of place. These may cause damage to the spinal cord. There are many types of fractures and dislocations that can happen.
