Lumbosacral Traumatic Spondylolisthesis L5 to S1-Classification and Surgical Management of a Difficult Presentation.

Introduction: Lumbosacral traumatic spondylolisthesis L5-S1 is a rare clinical entity that compromises the stability of the L5 vertebra by displacing it anteriorly, laterally, or posteriorly on the S1 vertebral body secondary to osteotendinous and/or articular compromise of this segment due to trauma. This pathology is difficult to classify and manage; although surgical management remains the gold standard, short- and long-term results in the literature are scarce and highly variable.

Patient Presentation: We present the case of a 53-year-old patient with lumbar trauma due to a free fall from a height of 6 meters.
