Background: Spondylolisthesis is defi ned as forward slippage of cephalad vertabra on a caudal vertebra. It is a

develop spondylolisthesis.
Methods: The study was conducted to compare the Clinical and the Functional outcome of Posterolateral fusion
versus combination of Posterolateral and Posterior lumbar interbody fusion in spondylolisthesis treated with

of posterolateral fusion and Poster.. Read More»
