Degenerative Spondylolisthesis, Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion
Conditions
Brief summary
A prospective randomized controlled trial for comparison of radiologic outcomes of single level transforaminal interbody fusion(TLIF) technique via unilateral versus bilateral facetectomy for the treatment of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis
Detailed description
Traditionally many spine surgeons prefer single level TLIF surgery via bilateral facetectomy for increasing union rate. Our hypothesis - Single level TLIF via unilateral facetectomy is sufficient for achieve successful fusion rate
Interventions
PROCEDUREUnilateral Transforaminal Interbody fusion
TLIF via unilateral factectomy and insertion of one cage
PROCEDUREBilateral Transforaminal Interbody fusion
TLIF via bilateral factectomy and insertion of two cages
