Biomechanical response of decompression alone in lower grade lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis--A finite element analysis

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background Previous studies have demonstrated the clinical efficacy of decompression alone in lower-grade spondylolisthesis. A higher rate of surgical revision and a lower rate of back pain relief was also observed.

Adjacent disc and facet joint degeneration in young adults with low-grade spondylolytic spondylolisthesis: A magnetic resonance imaging study

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2015
Premature adjacent-level degeneration has been attributed to vertebral fusion, but spondylolisthesis has not been reported as a pathological factor responsible for the degeneration of adjacent disc and facet joint.
