This is basically another term for spondylolisthesis. Anterolisthesis is a spine condition in which the upper vertebral body, the drum-shaped area in front of each vertebrae, slips forward onto the vertebra below. The amount of slippage is graded on a scale from 1 to 4.
In anterolisthesis, the upper vertebral body is positioned abnormally compared to the vertebral body below it. More specifically, the upper vertebral body slips forward on the one below. The amount of slippage is graded on a scale from 1 to 4.
Anterolisthesis can often result from trauma due to sudden blunt force or fractures, perhaps from an accident or fall. The condition may also develop over time through strenuous physical exercise, such as bodybuilding. A bone abnormality at birth may also cause the spine to slip forward.
In spondylolisthesis, one of the bones in your spine — called a vertebra — slips forward and out of place. This may occur anywhere along the spine, but is most common in the lower back (lumbar spine). In some people, this causes no symptoms at all. Others may have back and leg pain that ranges from mild to severe.
ICD-10 code M54. 5, low back pain, effective October 1, 2021. That means providers cannot use M54. 5 to specify a diagnosis on or after October 1—and existing patients with the M54. 5 diagnosis will need to be updated to a valid ICD-10 code.

Neck pain is pain in or around the spine beneath your head, known as the cervical spine. Neck pain is a common symptom of many different injuries and medical conditions. You might have axial neck pain (felt mostly in the neck) or radicular neck pain (pain shoots into other areas such as the shoulders or arms).
Cervical spine fractures are reported with codes from category S12, Fracture of the cervical vertebra and other parts of the neck. There are specific codes for the more common types of fractures of each cervical vertebra. In order to assign the most specific codes at each level, the following information is required: C1 vertebra.
Traumatic spondylolisthesis refers to a slippage or displacement of the vertebrae from an acute injury, and the severity of the injury can vary significantly. For this reason, traumatic spondylolisthesis is classified as Type I, II, IIA, or III.
Specific codes for cervical spine fractures at the C1 (atlas) vertebra include posterior arch fractures (which are the most common type at this level), lateral mass fractures, and burst fractures. Burst fractures are subclassified as stable or unstable. A burst fracture at C1 also may be referred to as Jefferson fracture.
Codes for dislocation and sprains of the joints and ligaments of the neck are found in category S13. This category includes specific codes for traumatic rupture of the disc (S13.0-), subluxation, and dislocation at each interspace (S13.1-), plus sprain of ligaments such as the anterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine (S13.4-).
Codes for injury to the nerves and spinal cord at the neck are found in category S14. If multiple cervical levels show evidence of spinal cord lesions, the code for the highest level is assigned. So if the patient has an incomplete lesion at C4 and C5 levels, code S14.154, Other incomplete lesion at C4 level of cervical spinal cord.
A burst fracture at C1 also may be referred to as Jefferson fracture. At the C2 (axis) vertebra, one of the most common types of fracture is a traumatic spondylolisthesis, which also may be referred to as a Hangman’s fracture. Traumatic spondylolisthesis refers to a slippage or displacement of the vertebrae from an acute injury, ...
Anterolisthesis is a spinal condition in which there is a forward slippage of a vertebral body in relation to the vertebra immediately below it . It is important to realise that this condition does not refer to bulging, herniated, or deformed intervertebral discs but is a condition of the bones themselves, although disc problems are also usually ...
Even more severe grades of anterolisthesis may be effectively treated using conservative, non-invasive, methods but in some cases greater levels of intervention may be needed. Where there is serious instability of the spine, a back brace may be used but such use is controversial as many experts believe that such a brace actually causes a further weakening of the spine. Surgery is often regarded as a last resort and it must be said that spinal surgery is not without risks but the good news is that surgical procedures to remedy this problem have a very high success rate. The precise procedure will of course depend on the specific problems with no two cases being the same but one of the most common procedures is known as interbody-fusion and in this the surgeon actually fuses one vertebra to the one below it. Screws are usually employed which remain in-situ and the disc from the offending joint is normally removed and replaced with a “cage” seeded with bone fragments which then grow to form a strong permanent bond. Bone grafts are taken from another part of the patient’s body. This is a complex operation which is carried out under a general anesthetic.
Spinal injuries from accidental causes may result in anterolisthesis at any point of the spine, with the possible exception of the C1 and C2 vertebrae, but even with this cause, the L5-S1 junction is particularly vulnerable due to the very heavy mechanical loading at this point. The spinal column is made up of many vertebrae which fit together in the manner of a three dimensional jigsaw puzzle. The joints between the individual vertebrae allow for a range of movement which varies depending on location in the spinal column. The joints are separated by the intervertebral discs which provide a cushioning effect and are held firmly in place by both the interlocking nature of the geometric shapes of the vertebrae and by strong ligaments.
The most severe types of anterolisthesis may result in a severe physical instability of the spine but many of the symptoms occur due to the trapping of nerves, usually at the points where they exit the spine via openings known as foramina. This is known as foraminal stenosis. It is also possible for the spinal cord itself to be compressed as it passes through the centres of the vertebrae in a condition known as central spinal stenosis. Perhaps the most obvious symptom is back pain and this can range from mild to severe. Pain, weakness and numbness are often experienced affecting the buttocks and running down to the thigh and sometimes the calf. This is most frequently unilateral, affecting just one side of the body, but can be bilateral affecting both sides. Spasms of the muscles of the lower back may be experienced along with a tightness of the hamstrings and leg muscles. In some severe cases, there may be problems in controlling bowel and bladder functions and a feeling of numbness affecting the buttocks and inside of the thighs and groin area. This is known as cauda equina syndrome and is sometimes termed saddle anesthesia. Sufferers of severe anterolisthesis may develop a modified waddling gait and a change in body posture with increased lordosis (this is the forward spinal curvature in the area sometimes referred to as the small of the back).
A more comprehensive name for this condition is anterospondylolisthesis with the term spondylo indicating that the condition refers to the vertebrae.
The names anterolisthesis and spondylolisthesis are often regarded as being interchangeable and used as synonyms but this is not 100% correct as the latter makes no reference as to the direction of the slippage which can be forward, rearward (as in retrolisthesis / retrospondylolisthesis), lateral or any other direction but the former is much more specific referring only to forward vertebral displacement.
Heavy contact sports are fairly simple to avoid but even incorrect lifting, especially when lifting a load from one side of the body or twisting during the process of lifting, can cause anterolisthesis of a weakened spine.
