Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Single segment and symptomatic degenerative disc disease (DDD)/degenerative spinal stenosis, which may have Meyerding I degree lumbar spondylolisthesis; 2. Over 18 years old; 3. Conservative treatment for more than 3 months is ineffective; 4. The height of the intervertebral disc is greater than half of the average height of adjacent segments.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Lumbar spondylolisthesis with DDD or grade II or higher in multiple segments; 2. Spinal malformation: degenerative scoliosis (>10 degrees) or sagittal plane imbalance; 3.
