Iatrogenic spondylolysis with slippage – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/2113312932

This is a condition characterised by deficient development or degeneration of a portion of the vertebra, usually in the pars interarticularis (the bone bridge between the superior and inferior facet joints of the lumbar vertebra) with forward displacement of a superior vertebral body over the vertebral body below which is secondary to an iatrogenic cause.
