 To clarify the pathogenesis of slippage in pediatric patients with spondylolysis, we created a new rat model that mimics the radiographical features of the patients,and in this paper we discuss its pathogenesis based on a histological analysis of the model. Ten 4-week-old rats were used, five for the radiological analysis and five for the histological analysis. Posterior destabilizing surgery was performed, and weekly lateral view radiographs were taken to evaluate slippage and deformities. Percent slip (%slip) and lumbar index (LI) were calculated as an indicator of slippage and deformity, respectively. Hematoxylin and eosin stained sections prepared one week after the surgery were used for the histological evaluation. Radiographically, slippage was observed as early as one week after surgery, and the %slip was approximately 10%. The LI decreased with time, indicating that a wedging deformity had developed after surgery. These radiological findings in the rat model were similar to those observed in pediatric patients, showing that the rat model in this study was suitable for studying the pathogenesis of pediatric spondylolisthesis. Histological evaluation one week after surgery revealed epiphyseal separation in the vertebral body and an intact intervertebral disc. These results demonstrated that the main factor contributing to vertebral forward slippage in the pediatric spine with spondylolysis is injury of the growth plate of the vertebral body and not disc degeneration.
