A retrolisthesis is a posterior displacement of one vertebral body with respect to the adjacent vertebrae to a degree less than a luxation (dislocation). Clinically speaking, retrolisthesis is the opposite of spondylolisthesis (anterior displacement of one vertebral body on the subjacent vertebral body). In the past this clinical pathology was also called a "retrospondylolisthesis". (2) Retrolistheses are most easily diagnosed on lateral x-ray views of the spine. Views, where care has been taken to expose for a true lateral view without any rotation, offer the best diagnostic quality.

Spondylolisthesis describes the anterior displacement of a vertebra or the vertebral column in relation to the vertebrae below. It was first described in 1782 by Belgian obstetrician, Dr. Herbinaux. He reported a bony prominence anterior to the sacrum that obstructed the vagina of a small number of patients. The term “spondylolisthesis” was coined in 1854, from the Greek “spondyl” for vertebrae and “olisthesis” for slip. The variant "listhesis" is sometimes applied in conjunction with scoliosis. These "slips" occur most commonly in the lumbar spine.

Clasificación anatómica: está determinada por el nivel de la línea de fractura. Así se las clasifica en:
Fractura sub-capital: aquella producida en un plano inmediatamente inferior al del borde del cartílago de crecimiento; generalmente tiene una orientación algo oblícua, de modo que compromete un pequeño segmento del cuello del fémur. Son las más frecuentes. 
Fractura transcervical (o medio cervical): el rasgo compromete la parte media del cuerpo del cuello femoral.

Hallux valgus is a common foot disorder of several etiologies,

which can lead to significant foot pain and deformity.

 Little has been published in the radiographic literature about

 the pre- and postoperative radiographic findings of this very

common and very treatable cause of foot pain.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare form of stroke that results from thrombosis (a blood clot) of the dural venous sinuses, which drain blood from the brain. Symptoms may include headache, abnormal vision, any of the symptoms of stroke such as weakness of the face and limbs on one side of the body, and seizures. The diagnosis is usually by computed tomography (CT/CAT scan) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) employing radiocontrast to demonstrate obstruction of the venous sinuses by thrombus.
