Retrolisthesis, is a posterior (rear) displacement of a vertebral body less than one degree of luxation (dislocation). The grading system is measured from Grade 1 (lowest degree of displacement) to Grade 4 (highest degree).

C5 is the vertebrae that is displaced due to retrolisthesis, or the 5th Cervical Spinal Vertebrae (neck).
A posterior displacement of up to ¼ of the IVF is graded as Grade 1.

Retrolisthesis (backwards slippage of one vertebral body on another) has historically been regarded as an incidental finding, one which doesn't cause any symptoms, and is considered to be of little or no clinical significance. Few studies have been done to date and little is known about this condition.
