Isthmic spondylolisthesis contains only a portion of defect by the pars interarticularis that doesn’t cause slippage in the vertebra; this condition is called Spondylolysis (Driver, 1). This is common in the sports field, involving repetitive trauma in hyperextension in most favor towards athletes such as football linemen, gymnasts, as well as trained dancers. Degenerative spondylolisthesis is the resulted outcome “due to arthritic changes in the joints of the vertebrae due to cartilage degeneration”; it’s notoriously impacted by older patients (Driver, 1). Traumatic spondylolisthesis has a tornado combination of disturbance, also known as “direct trauma or injury”, by a “fracture of the pedicle, lamina, or facet joints that [relinquishes] the front portion of the vertebra to slip forward with respect to the back portion of the vertebra (Driver, 1). Lastly, Pathologic spondylolisthesis is generated by “a defect in the bone caused by an abnormal bone, such as from a tumor’
