Hello and welcome to HCM,
Lumbosacral instability of spine suggests that the spine is liable to dislocate in either direction - anterior or posterior if there is any kind of imbalance.
There is chance of dislocation or disc prolapse if there is any kind of pressure on the spine.
Stay in touch with your orthopedician for regular check up.
Thanks and take care
