Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis affects children during the growth period, and the rate of infection in children is 6%. Spondylolisthesis has degrees, and the degree of vertebrae is determined according to the percentage of vertebrae degeneration.
The first degree is 25% of the vertebra sliding on the lower vertebra, the second degree is 50%, then the third degree is 75%, the fourth degree is 100%, and the fifth degree is in which the vertebra completely falls into the pelvis.
