Spondylolysis/Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis are two different but related conditions that refer to defects in the vertebrae, the bones that make up the spine. Spondylolysis is a fracture of the thin parts of the vertebrae that link the front and back together. If that fracture separates it allows the vertebra to slip called a spondylolisthesis. Both conditions are common causes of low back pain, particularly in young athletes who play sports that place stress on the lower back.
