Reduction Of Lumbar Spondylolisthesis, Surgical Technique And Clinical Outcome., Mohamed Eshra
Advanced Spine Journal
Background Data: Reduction of the slipped vertebrae as a part of surgical approach is now attempted. In the current literature, the studies have paid attention to the surgical reduction of the slippage or in situ spinal fixationtechnique. These studies have a lack of comparison between these variable techniques. Purpose: To define the role and benefits of reduction and stabilization of lumbar spondylolisthesis. Study Design: A retrospective clinical case study.Patients and Methods: 24 patients with low grade isthmic lumbar spondylolisthesis between January 2008 and June 2010 were enrolled for this study. Patients were treated by slip reduction, interbody fusion with or …
Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (Plif) Augmented With Pedicle Screw Fixation Versus Plif Augmented With Percutaneous Pedicle Screw Fixation In Low Grade Lumbar Spondylolisthesis, Esam Elkhatib,
Advanced Spine Journal
Background Data: The optimal treatment for patients with Spondylolisthesis has been the subject of many recent studies which provide some of the best evidence for lumbar spinal fusion. Purpose: Compare the clinical and radiological outcome of treating low grade lumbar spondylolisthesis patients with PLIF augmented with PSF versus those treated with PLIF augmented with Percutaneous PSF. Study Design: This is a prospective comparative clinical case study.Patients and Methods: Seventeen patients with low grade spondylolisthesis who underwent instrumented fixation were retrospectively analyzed from the period of 2011 to 2012. A PLIF and PSF (Group A) was performed in 9 patients, andPLIF …

Adjacent Segment Degeneration (Asd) Following Lumber Arthrodesis; Risk Factors And Management., Mohammed Eshra
Advanced Spine Journal
Background Data: Spinal bony fusion is considered to be a good method for treating deformity, trauma, and degenerative lesions. Fusion rates have a good outcome due to improvements in instrumented fixation and bone graft sources. In contrast, numerous complications of fusion surgery may occur and are considered as the predisposing factors for clinical failure after instrumented lumbar fusion. Adjacent segment disease after lumbar spine fusion has been found to occur nowadays with a variable incidence. The risk factors for ASD have not been precisely documented.Purpose: To identify the possible risk factors responsible for adjacent segment affection following lumbosacral fixation and …
