title: [The long-term results of decompression and anterior lumbar interbody fusion for the treatment of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis].
abstract: In this paper we reviewed 31 patients who had been treated surgically for lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis. They were operated between 1990-1996. The decompression and anterior lumbar interbody fusion with use of autologous bone graft,was performed in all of them. The duration of follow-up ranged from 12 to 6 years. The outcome was assessed using rating system of Prolo and VAPS. The disc high, degree of slippage, segmental lordosis, before surgery, after 6 weeks and at the time of final follow-up were measured on the radiographs. In all cases spinal fusion were achieved. A significant decrease in radicular pain and low back pain was seen but the relation between clinical and radiological outcomes was not observed.
