Abstract
We report a case of L4–L5 traumatic anterolisthesis. The patient was treated surgically 4 months after the injury. His radiological and operative findings showed L4 inferior facet tip fracture, L4–L5 anterior displacement and left L4–L5 foraminal disc protrusion. Decompression, reduction with L3, L4, L5 pedicular screw fixation, L4–L5 disc excision and interbody cage insertion with autologous bone grafts were done. Flexion type injury was thought to be the probable mechanism.
