[Results of posterolateral spinal fusion on spondylolisthesis (author's transl)].
44 patients with spondylolisthesis (type I Meyerding) which had had posterolateral fusion could be followed up for an average of five years. The operation had been performed for low back pain with or without sciatica when conservative treatment was not successful. In 42 patients (95%) fusion was solid and in 35 patients (80%) the symptomes could be distinctly deminished. Posterolateral fusion is a successful treatment with few complications in spondylolisthesis which does not respond to conservative measures.
