New Spondylolisthesis Findings from St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center Reported (Anatomical Reduction of Spondylolisthesis Through Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion With Percutaneous Pedicle Screw Fixation: an Intraoperative Technical Note).

A study conducted at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona, explores the surgical management of lumbar spondylolisthesis, a condition that requires neural decompression, stabilization, and alignment restoration. The study focuses on the use of minimally invasive spine approaches, specifically lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (PSF), as a safe and effective option for treating lumbar spondylolisthesis. The research concludes that LLIF with percutaneous PSF is a valuable addition to available spine surgical options and can be an effective technique for treating lumbar spondylolisthesis.
