How many grades of retrolisthesis are there?

Retrolisthesis has four grades based on the percentage of the backward displacement of the intervertebral foramina. The grades help determine the instability of the adjacent joint as well.Nov 11, 2021

What Causes Lumbar Retrolisthesis?
  • Injuries that cause connecting soft tissues such as discs, muscles, tendons, and ligaments to become unstable.

What is the difference between retrolisthesis and spondylolisthesis?

Spondylolisthesis refers to the improper positioning of a vertebra and occurs in two ways: anterolisthesis, in which the vertebral body is positioned forward in relation to the vertebra it sits above, and retrolisthesis, in which the vertebral body is positioned backward from the vertebra it is positioned above.

Does retrolisthesis require surgery?

Traumatic retrolisthesis is a rare injury and may result in intervertebral disc extrusion and nerve root injury. These injuries are highly unstable and require surgery for decompression and stabilization.

Can retrolisthesis be corrected?

There are surgical as well as nonsurgical protocols, but physical therapy treatment provides maximum relief. The abnormal positioning of the vertebra in retrolisthesis is corrected to reduce abnormal stress on the soft tissues of the spine and to reduce the irritation to nerves.May 6, 2015

Is retrolisthesis a disability?

It can be found in the shoulder and neck region, lower back and pelvis or stomach region. If you suffer from retrolisthesis, this painful condition, you could qualify for disability benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Does retrolisthesis worsen?

If diagnosis happens early, the slippage can be stabilized, but without treatment, it can get worse and lead to complications. Untreated it can lead to cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM), or spinal cord compression, especially in those aged over 50 years.

The ICD code M431 is used to code Spondylolisthesis
