Abstract:Background: Pain in the lower lumbar spine is a socioeconomically serious medical illness. The main reason from physiological perspective was micro and macro instability of spine. Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is a reliable treatment option for patients with spondylolisthesis; providing spinal stabilization in a balanced alignment with the disc space height being restored and with the neural elements being decompressed mechanically. Aims: To study clinical and radiological outcomes of Posterior lumb… Show more
“…On the other hand, 45 % patients in group B achieved grade I and55% patients achieved grade III Rao et al 17 agree with our study as he found that the interbody fusion was advantageous for increasing the fusion rate and obtained early stability and high rate of fusion following PLIF with the use of pedicle screws for fixation than using posterior lateral screw fusion alone.…”
