Roentgenogram showed that there were 6 cases of I degree spondylolisthesis, 11 cases of II degree and 1 case of III degree. All patients were treated with cages for intervertebral fusion after total laminectomy and pedicle screws for the reduction.ResultsThe cases were followed up from 6 to 12 months with an average of 11 months. The clinical results were excellent in 13 cases and good in 5 cases. All patients achieved successful fusion and bony union. There were no pedicle screw loosening or broken or peripheral nerve dysfunction in this series.ConclusionThis method has been proved to be an effective and reliable procedure for treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis.
