To determine the effect of the sponsyloyisthesis on the femoral head loading analysis of the lumbar spine, 20 radiograps of healty young medical students and the 20 spondylolysthetic patients in the neutral erect positions were carefully selected. Analysis of coordinates of the each vertebra to femoral head çenter was done. Too little is known of the mechanical factors in the spondylolysis for a definition of the posture which put the femoral head greatest risk.
