1)As per the report the main point is (Spondylolisthesis) It is defined as forward translation of a vertebral body with respect to the vertebra below. The term is derived from the Greek roots (spondylo) meaning spine, and listhesis, meaning to slide down a slippery path.
2)Treatment will start from conservative therapy methods if fail surgical fusion can be considered.
You can send reports i will tell you in details about it and which methods will be followed .
