The deformity of spondylolisthesis is very characteristic... It is secondary to the forward slippage of the involved vertebra.... As the vertebra slips forward, it leaves behind the lamina, spinous processes, and the inferior articular facets. Consequently, there is a step-off palpable over the spinous processes from the one left behind to the ones slipped above. 1, record 3, English, - step%2Doff
