Anatomical terms of location

Standard anatomical terms of location are used to unambiguously describe the anatomy of animals, including humans.

See Spondylolisthesis and Anatomical terms of location

Arthritis

Arthritis is a term often used to mean any disorder that affects joints.

See Spondylolisthesis and Arthritis

Cervical vertebrae

In tetrapods, cervical vertebrae (vertebra) are the vertebrae of the neck, immediately below the skull.

See Spondylolisthesis and Cervical vertebrae

Dysplasia is any of various types of abnormal growth or development of cells (microscopic scale) or organs (macroscopic scale), and the abnormal histology or anatomical structure(s) resulting from such growth.

See Spondylolisthesis and Dysplasia

The facet joints (also zygapophysial joints, zygapophyseal, apophyseal, or Z-joints) are a set of synovial, plane joints between the articular processes of two adjacent vertebrae.

See Spondylolisthesis and Facet joint

Failed back syndrome

Failed back syndrome or post-laminectomy syndrome is a condition characterized by chronic pain following back surgeries.

See Spondylolisthesis and Failed back syndrome

Gluteal muscles

The gluteal muscles, often called glutes, are a group of three muscles which make up the gluteal region commonly known as the buttocks: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.

See Spondylolisthesis and Gluteal muscles

Hamstring

In human anatomy, a hamstring is any one of the three posterior thigh muscles between the hip and the knee (from medial to lateral: semimembranosus, semitendinosus and biceps femoris).

See Spondylolisthesis and Hamstring

Hangman's fracture

Hangman's fracture is the colloquial name given to a fracture of both pedicles, or partes interarticulares, of the axis vertebra (C2).

See Spondylolisthesis and Hangman's fracture

Joint dislocation

A joint dislocation, also called luxation, occurs when there is an abnormal separation in the joint, where two or more bones meet.

See Spondylolisthesis and Joint dislocation

Kyphosis

Kyphosis is an abnormally excessive convex curvature of the spine as it occurs in the thoracic and sacral regions. Spondylolisthesis and Kyphosis are Congenital disorders of musculoskeletal system and Deforming dorsopathies.

See Spondylolisthesis and Kyphosis

Ligamenta flava

The ligamenta flava (ligamentum flavum, Latin for yellow ligament) are a series of ligaments that connect the ventral parts of the laminae of adjacent vertebrae.

See Spondylolisthesis and Ligamenta flava

Lumbar

In tetrapod anatomy, lumbar is an adjective that means of or pertaining to the abdominal segment of the torso, between the diaphragm and the sacrum.

See Spondylolisthesis and Lumbar

Lumbar vertebrae

The lumbar vertebrae are located between the thoracic vertebrae and pelvis.

See Spondylolisthesis and Lumbar vertebrae

Methylprednisolone

Methylprednisolone (Depo-Medrol, Medrol, Solu-Medrol) is a synthetic glucocorticoid, primarily prescribed for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects.

See Spondylolisthesis and Methylprednisolone

Neurological examination

A neurological examination is the assessment of sensory neuron and motor responses, especially reflexes, to determine whether the nervous system is impaired.

See Spondylolisthesis and Neurological examination

Obstetrics

Obstetrics is the field of study concentrated on pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period.

See Spondylolisthesis and Obstetrics

Orthopedic surgery

Orthopedic surgery or orthopedics (alternative spelling orthopaedics) is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system.

See Spondylolisthesis and Orthopedic surgery

Palpation

Palpation is the process of using one's hands to check the body, especially while perceiving/diagnosing a disease or illness.

See Spondylolisthesis and Palpation

Paracetamol

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is a non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic agent used to treat fever and mild to moderate pain.

See Spondylolisthesis and Paracetamol

Pars interarticularis

The pars interarticularis, or pars for short, is the part of a vertebra located between the inferior and superior articular processes of the facet joint.

See Spondylolisthesis and Pars interarticularis

Physical examination

In a physical examination, medical examination, clinical examination, or medical checkup, a medical practitioner examines a patient for any possible medical signs or symptoms of a medical condition.

See Spondylolisthesis and Physical examination

Prednisone

Prednisone is a glucocorticoid medication mostly used to suppress the immune system and decrease inflammation in conditions such as asthma, COPD, and rheumatologic diseases.

See Spondylolisthesis and Prednisone

Radiopaedia

Radiopaedia is a wiki-based international collaborative educational web resource containing a radiology encyclopedia and imaging case repository.

See Spondylolisthesis and Radiopaedia

Retrolisthesis

A retrolisthesis is a posterior displacement of one vertebral body with respect to the subjacent vertebra to a degree less than a luxation (dislocation). Spondylolisthesis and retrolisthesis are Deforming dorsopathies.

See Spondylolisthesis and Retrolisthesis

Sacrum

The sacrum (sacra or sacrums), in human anatomy, is a large, triangular bone at the base of the spine that forms by the fusing of the sacral vertebrae (S1S5) between ages 18 and 30.

See Spondylolisthesis and Sacrum

Sciatic nerve

The sciatic nerve, also called the ischiadic nerve, is a large nerve in humans and other vertebrate animals.

See Spondylolisthesis and Sciatic nerve

Spondylolysis

Spondylolysis is a defect or stress fracture in the pars interarticularis of the vertebral arch. Spondylolisthesis and Spondylolysis are Deforming dorsopathies.

See Spondylolisthesis and Spondylolysis

Spondylosis

Spondylosis is the degeneration of the vertebral column from any cause.

See Spondylolisthesis and Spondylosis

Supine position

The supine position means lying horizontally with the face and torso facing up, as opposed to the prone position, which is face down.

See Spondylolisthesis and Supine position

Thoracic vertebrae

In vertebrates, thoracic vertebrae compose the middle segment of the vertebral column, between the cervical vertebrae and the lumbar vertebrae.

See Spondylolisthesis and Thoracic vertebrae

Vagina

In mammals and other animals, the vagina (vaginas or vaginae) is the elastic, muscular reproductive organ of the female genital tract.

See Spondylolisthesis and Vagina

Vertebra

Each vertebra (vertebrae) is an irregular bone with a complex structure composed of bone and some hyaline cartilage, that make up the vertebral column or spine, of vertebrates.

See Spondylolisthesis and Vertebra

Vertebral column

The vertebral column, also known as the spinal column, spine or backbone, is the core part of the axial skeleton in vertebrate animals.

See Spondylolisthesis and Vertebral column
