Abstract

We treated 32 patients with low-grade (<30%) isthmic spondylolisthesis at L5–S1 with selective instrumentation, reduction of the slip, resection of the pseudoarthrosis adding autologous bone grafting and decompressing the root canal. The ages ranged from 18 to 54 years. After a mean of 3.4 (1–7) years, we found good radiological and clinical results in 27 patients. Five patients lost correction, of whom three were asymptomatic whereas two required fusion of L5–S1. We think this technique is a useful surgical option for select patients.
