BackgroundThe reported prevalence of spondylolysis (SL) in the adult population is 6–7%. Data concerning adolescent-onset spondylolisthesis (SLS) and the impact of certain activities on it is scarce. We examined the risk of clinical progression of SL and SLS as a function of primary severity and occupational strain among military recruits.MethodsBa...

Operative neurosurgery (Hagerstown, Md.)
Spondylolisthesis is a common cause of lower back and leg pain in adults. The initial treatment for patients is typically nonoperative in nature. However, when patients fail conservative management and their back and/or leg pain is recalcitrant, surgical intervention is warranted. Spinal decompression, either directly or indirectly, as well as fusi...

To propose and validate a novel and comprehensive classification of lumbosacral spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis in the pediatric population according to surgical managements. Cases of pediatric lumbosacral (L5/S1 level) spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis were reviewed. Lumbar Japanese Orthopedics Association score, health-related quality of li...

Anterior lumbar interbody fusion finds a place in L5-S1 isthmic spondylolisthesis (ISPL) treatment. Extension of this arthrodesis at L4-L5 level is sometimes required. Anterior approach of the L4L5 disc is considered difficult due to the anatomical relationship between the iliocava junction (ICJ) and the spine. Does the lumbosacral deformation indu...

BackgroundThe conventional pedicle-screw-based dynamic stabilization process involves dissection of the Wiltse plane to cannulate the pedicles, which cannot be undertaken with minimal surgical invasion. Despite some reports having demonstrated satisfactory outcomes of dynamic stabilization in the management of low-grade spondylolisthesis, the exten...

The aetiologies of common degenerative spine, hip, and knee pathologies are still not completely understood. Mechanical theories have suggested that those diseases are related to sagittal pelvic morphology and spinopelvic-femoral dynamics. The link between the most widely used parameter for sagittal pelvic morphology, pelvic incidence (PI), and the...

Observational study. To evaluate adjacent segment disk degeneration (ASD) after fusion without attempted reduction at a young age for high-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis. The clinical relevance of ASD remains unclear. Previous studies have shown that spinal fusion is associated with increased ASD but without influence on clinical outcome. Since hi...

There is no consensus on how to evaluate segmental fusion after lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF). Bone bridges (BB) between two contiguous vertebra are reported as pathognomonic criteria for anterior fusion. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no radiological investigations on zygapophyseal joints (ZJ) status after LLIF. The aim ...
