20. Spondylolisthesis
– Symptom
– mechanical/ back pain
– most common presenting symptom
– usually relieved with rest and sitting
– neurogenic claudication & leg pain
– second most common symptoms
– defined as buttock and leg pain/discomfort caused by upright walking
– relieved by sitting
– not relieved by standing in one place (as is vascular claudication)
– may be unilateral or bilateral
– same symptoms found with spinal stenosis
– cauda equina syndrome (very rare)
21. L4 nerve root involvement
– (compressed in foramen with L4/5 DS)weakness to quadriceps
– best seen with sit to stand exam maneuver
– weakness to ankle dorsiflexion (cross over with L5)
– best seen with heel-walk exam maneuver
– decreased patellar reflex
22. L5 nerve root involvement
– weakness to ankle dorsiflexion (cross over with L4)
– best seen with heel-walk exam maneuver
– weakness to EHL (great toe extension)
– weakness to gluteus medius (hip abduction)
23. provocative walking test
- have patient walk prolonged distance until onset of buttock and leg pain
- have patient stop but remain standing upright
– if pain resolves this is consistent with vascular claudication
- have patient sit
– if pain resolves this is consistent with neurogenic claudication (DS)

25. Imaging
– recommended views
– weight bearing lumbar AP, lateral neutral, lateral flexion, lateral extension
– findings
– slip evident on lateral xray
– flexion-extension studies
– instability defined as 4 mm of translation or 10° of angulation of motion
compared to adjacent motion segment
26. MRI
indications
– persistent leg pain that has failed nonoperative modalities
– best study to evaluate impingement of neural elements
views
– T2 weighted sagittal and axial images best to look for compression of neurologic
elements
27. Classification
Wiltse-Newman Classification
Type I • Dysplastic: a congenital defect in pars
Type II-A • Isthmic - pars fatigue fx
Type II-B • Isthmic - pars elongation due to multiple
healed stress fx
Type II-C • Isthmic - pars acute fx
Type III • Degenerative: facet instability without a pars
fx
Type IV • Traumatic: acute posterior arch fx other than
pars
Type V • Neoplastic: pathologic destruction of pars
30. Nonoperative
– physical therapy and NSAIDS
– indications
– most patients can be treated nonoperatively
– modalities include
– activity restriction
– NSAIDS
– PT
– epidural steroid injections
– indications
– second line of treatment if non-invasive methods fail
31. Operative
lumbar wide decompression with instrumented fusion
indications
– most common is persistent and incapacitating pain that has failed 6 mos. of nonoperative
management and epidural steroid injections
– progressive motor deficit
– cauda equina syndrome
– outcomes
– ~79% have satisfactory outcomes
– improved fusion rates shown with pedicle screws
– improved outcomes with successful arthrodesis
– worse outcomes found in smokers
32. posterior lumbar decompression alone
– indications
– usually not indicated due to instability associated with spondylolithesis
– only indicated in medically frail patients who cannot tolerate the increased surgical
time of performing a fusion
– outcomes
– ~69% treated with decompression alone are satisfied
– ~ 31% have progressive instability
33. Anterior lumbar interbody fusion
(ALIF)
indications
– reserved for revision cases with pseudoarthrosis
– outcomes
– injury to superior hypogastric plexus can cause retrograde ejaculation
A condition characterized by lumbar spondylolithesis without a defect in the parsabsent of pars defect differentiates from adult isthmic spondylolithesis
