A retrolisthesis is a posterior displacement of one vertebral body with respect to the subjacent vertebra to a degree less than a luxation (dislocation). Retrolistheses are most easily diagnosed on lateral x-ray views of the spine.
Backward displacement is called retrolisthesis. Lateral displacement is called lateral listhesis [4] or laterolisthesis. [5] A hangman's fracture is a specific type of spondylolisthesis where the second cervical vertebra (C2) is displaced anteriorly relative to the C3 vertebra due to fractures of the C2 vertebra's pedicles.
The reverse of this condition is retrolisthesis where one vertebra slips backward onto another. The vertebral pedicle is often used as a radiographic marker and entry point in vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, and spinal fusion procedures. The arcuate foramen is a common anatomical variation more frequently seen in females.

Spondylolisthesis is the forward displacement of a vertebra and retrolisthesis is a posterior displacement of one vertebral body with respect to the adjacent vertebra to a degree less than a dislocation. Spondylolysis, also known as a pars defect, is a defect or fracture at the pars interarticularis of the vertebral arch.
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a medical condition in which the spinal canal narrows and compresses the nerves and blood vessels at the level of the lumbar vertebrae. ...
Back pain itself is not considered a diagnosis, but rather a symptom of underlying (in most cases musculoskeletal) problems. [2] following: Vertebrae misalignment, which can cause nerve interference (also called subluxation), [3] muscle tension, or muscle spasm [4] [5]
