pubmed:abstractText |
Severe spondylolisthesis produces a kyphos at the lumbosacral junction. Reduction can be complicated by injury to the cauda equina. To prevent this, a posterior decompression and fusion is carried out before a slow reduction in extension. An anterior fusion with internal fixation then locks the reduction. Using these principles, a good reduction was achieved in 20 of 22 patients. Only two patients suffered a permanent neurologic deficit consisting of slight loss of ankle dorsiflexion. Severe spondylolisthesis can be safely reduced by this method.
