Post-operative satisfactory rate was 90.5%. Pain relief was 90.5%. Neither infection nor neurologic complication occurred in this series.ConclusionOur short time follow-up and limited cases showed satisfactory preliminary result of surgical treatment of spondylolisthesis with SOCON instrumentation.
