Overview

Observational study reports effective clinical outcomes in patients undergoing minimally invasive fusion for spondylolisthesis, indicating a promising treatment option.

Key Points

  • Investigate the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for high-grade spondylolisthesis.
  • Prospective observational case series of 14 patients with Meyerding Grade III spondylolisthesis
  • All patients received monosegmental MIS-TLIF with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation
  • Outcome measures included VAS, ODI, slip percentage, and spinopelvic parameters, analyzed using paired t-tests.
  • Average ODI scores improved from 65.56% preoperatively to 7.93% postoperatively
  • Average slip percentage improved from 64.36% (preop) to 5.88% (postop)
  • Significant correction in lumbosacral lordosis and overall improvement in sagittal profile.
