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.
HI
Put your hands on your hips with your thumbs pointed towards your back. If you follow your thumbs back to your spine you are approximately at the L3-L4 disk level.
in adults its done at L3 and L4 or L4 and L5
yes i have been diagnosed with degenerative spondylosis
what is mutilevel dissication. l3 andl4 l4 and l5 l5 and s1

myelography
At the level of the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae, in the small of the back.
Small anterior osteophytes at the L2, L3, and L4 levels refer to bony projections that develop on the front (anterior) aspect of the vertebrae in the lumbar region of the spine. These osteophytes typically form as a result of degenerative changes, often associated with conditions like osteoarthritis or disc degeneration. They can indicate age-related wear and tear and may or may not be related to symptoms such as pain or stiffness. If symptomatic, they may contribute to spinal canal narrowing or nerve root compression.
Grade 1 degenerative anterolisthesis of L4 on L5 refers to a condition where the vertebra at the L4 level has shifted forward in relation to the L5 vertebra due to degenerative changes. Degenerative disc space narrowing and facet arthrosis at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels indicate wear and tear of the intervertebral discs and facet joints in the lower lumbar spine. Resultant canal stenosis and neural foraminal narrowing at L4-L5 suggest compression of the spinal canal and nerve roots at the L4-L5 level, potentially leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs.
