Spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, and lumbo-sacral morphology in a medieval English skeletal population

American Journal of Physical Anthropology

Abstract

The prevalence of spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis was studied in an adult skeletal series from a rural English medieval archaeological site. Attempts were made to evaluate the association of three aspects of lumbo-sacral skeletal morphology (pelvic incidence (a measure of the anterior inclination of the sacral table), lumbar transverse process width, and the presence of lumbo-sacral spina bifida occulta) with spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis. Results indicated a high prevalence of spondylolysis compared with a modern reference population, but few cases of spondylolisthesis were identified. Analysis of prevalence with respect to age suggests that in the study population, pars interarticularis defects generally formed late in the growth period or early in adult life. The study group showed a high mean pelvic incidence compared with modern Western Europeans, indicating a more steeply inclined sacral table, which may have elevated the risk of developing pars interarticularis defects. However, no statistically valid association could be demonstrated between the presence/absence of spondylolysis and pelvic incidence in the study material. There was no evidence for a link between lumbar transverse process index or lumbo-sacral ...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
