Lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis: factors associated with the decision to fuse

Nicole Schneider et al.

Summary: The decision to perform fusion surgery for lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (LDS) is multifactorial, involving patient characteristics, radiographic parameters, and surgeon preferences. Surgeon factors play an important role in the preference for fusion surgery.

Variation in surgical treatment of degenerative spondylolisthesis in Canada: surgeon assessment of stability and impact on treatment

R. Andrew Glennie et al.

Summary: The optimal surgical treatment for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DS) is controversial, with variability in surgical management in Canada. Tailoring surgical intervention based on surgeon-classified stability may improve resource utilization, as similar patient-reported outcomes were observed in two out of the three stability groups.

Decompression with or without Fusion in Degenerative Lumbar Spondylolisthesis

Ivar M. Austevoll et al.

Summary: A trial in Norway found that decompression surgery alone was noninferior to decompression with instrumented fusion in terms of the percentage of patients who experienced a 30% reduction in pain and disability scores over a 2-year period, with a noninferiority margin of -15 percentage points.

Is There Additional Value to Flexion-Extension Radiographs for Degenerative Spondylolisthesis?

Aidin Kashigar et al.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the role of flexion-extension radiographs in surgical decision making for patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis. Results showed that flexion-extension views may provide additional value for patients with slips less than 7 mm and no evidence of motion on standing radiographs versus MRI. In 90% of cases, information used for surgical planning can be obtained by comparing motion between supine MRI and upright lateral radiographs.
