spondylolysthesis

IMPLICATION: The importance of spino pelvic parameters are important in assessing the patients presenting with lower back pain when considering the etiology and also to be considered while surgical correction is needed for treatment of conditions like spondylolysthesis, degenerative disc disease and scoliosis.

During the telephone interaction, the RN care coordinator verbally educates the patient on his or her condition, providing information as simple as the spelling of the word spondylolysthesis to the complex steps of an epidural steroid injection.

Spondylolysthesis, a condition in which one vertebra slips forward on another, may result from a degenerative condition or an accident, or may be acquired at birth.

For example, yesterday, a neurosurgeon expounded on "dysdiadokokinesia," then an orthopod spoke on "spondylolysthesis." Today, a forensic chemist mouthed "methylamphetamine" and "methylaminopropane" for two hours.
