Outcome of Posterior Lumbar Underbody Fusion (Pilaf) For Degenerative Spondylolisthesis.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Spondylolysis may lead to instability of the spinal column that causes listhesis. Even in the absence of symptoms from the pars defects themselves, spondylolisthesis may lead to clinically significant radiculopathy and progressive neurologic deficits secondary to nerve root impingement. Both conditions vary in their presentations and require judicious application of conservative and surgical treatment strategies. The advent of improved anaesthetic management, the introduction of image intensifier, and advanced instrumentation helped the orthopaedic surgeons greatly in the management of spondylolisthesis. We aim to study the symptomatic and neurological improvement, the stability of fixation and complications in patients who underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion for degenerative spondylolisthesis.
