Abstract:Background
Previous studies have demonstrated the clinical efficacy of decompression alone in lower-grade spondylolisthesis. A higher rate of surgical revision and a lower rate of back pain relief was also observed. However, there is a lack of relevant biomechanical evidence after decompression alone for lower-grade spondylolisthesis.
Purpose
Evaluating the biomechanical characteristics of total laminectomy, hemilaminectomy, and facetectomy for low… Show more
