This is basically another term for spondylolisthesis.
Anterolisthesis is a spine condition in which the upper vertebral body, the drum-shaped area in front of each vertebrae, slips forward onto the vertebra below.
The amount of slippage is graded on a scale from 1 to 4.
Grade 1 is mild (less than 25% slippage), while grade 4 is severe (greater than 75% slippage).The symptoms of anterolisthesis can vary greatly depending if and how much the slippage pinches the nerve roots and what area is affected.
A fracture and anterolisthesis are two separate things. A fracture can heal.
Anterolisthesis can be treated. I am not qualified to say it is cured.
