CONCEPTS
To prevent the negative feedback from the patients.
Our study was performed aiming to determine the
predictors that contributed to unfavourable clinical
efficacy among patients with LS after fusion

AIM
To evaluate the risk of unfavourable clinical
outcomes in short-term postoperative period in LS
after fusion

old
(3) Single-level spondylolisthesis
(4) With all DATA of Clinical
parameters, radiological variables,
and surgical records
INCLUSION CRITERIA: EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
CLINICAL EVALUATION
Preoperative and
Postoperative functional
evaluation, including

Index) and VAS (Visual
Analogue Scale) will be
performed, endpoint
events will be defined as

symptom in the short
term (2 weeks
postoperatively)

Discussion & Conclusion
In our study
AVG POST OP DISC HEIGHT OF 6.8
Restoration of disc height to normal physiological level or less than normal
have more better functional outcome than supra-physiological fixation
patients have > 60% improvement in functional evaluation
at 2 weeks postoperatively
In our study, outcomes in
patients suggested that increased FA limits functional
recovery
IN OUR STUDY
A limited surgical benefit
was observed in LS with LLS, including an elevated and
persistent back pain due to the
coronal displacement of the slipped segment
successful surgery is largely dependent on
acquiring a solid fusion and re-establishing normal local sagittal
and coronal balance
PURPOSEFUL SURGICAL STRATEGIES AND INSTRUMENTS ARE
RECOMMENDED TO CORRECT VERTEBRAL SLIPPAGE IN PATIENTS
WITH LATERAL SLIPPAGE
Includes
• PRESERVING LUMBAR LORDOSIS
• IMPLANTING A APPROPRIATE SIZE CAGE
• LATERALLY DISTRACTING THE DISPLACED VERTEBRAL BODY

PLIF VS PLF HAD SIMILAR OUT COME WITH EQUAL COMPLICATION RATE ,REVISON RATE AND
OPERATION TIME AND BLOOD LOSS WITH 1 YEAR FOLLOW UP
PLIF HAD HIGH FUSION RATE THAN PLF
decompression alone or decompression with interbody fusion study indicated that the patients that
attained
a <6-mm DH intraoperatively
were more likely to derive a sustained benefit from the decompression with a fusion
procedure than the patients reporting poor clinical outcomes with higher disc height
