Spondylolisthesis and spondylolysis - A high impact trauma to the spine Factor
The RMA has not defined 'a high impact trauma to the spine' in the SOP, however, examples could include:
- a motor vehicle accident
- a diving accident
- a fall from a significant height.
If a veteran or member had a high impact trauma to the spine, significant and immediate medical attention would have been necessary.
