Spondylolysis and Spondylolisthesis
[ send me this essay ]
An 11 page paper providing an overview of these two conditions commonly associated with the L5 vertebra.

Management of spondylolysis is relatively simple though its diagnosis may not be. However, that diagnosis is worth pursuing because it can lead to spondylolisthesis, which can require surgery to correct. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
