The coronal facet orientation and lumbosacral joint angle may explain why traumatic lumbosacral spondylolisthesis occurs mostly on L5S1 level instead of other levels.3 Different classifications for Lumbosacral spondylolisthesis have been published but no classification for L4-5 or other levels published in literatures because of its rarity.

Among these injuries there were characteristic concomitant transverse processes fracture2-6 of adjacent segments and according to the points of Herron4 and Roche PH6 the presence of transverse process fracture must result in the suspicion of associated traumatic lesions of the lumbosacral joint. Our case also suffered from fractures of transverse processes, which support the above viewpoint.

Each posture was generated by specifying the position of six DOFs in the legs and each of the three DOFs for the lumbosacral joint. The positions of the remaining DOFs were calculated such that the closed chain between the feet was not broken.
