ABSTRACT
[Objective]To assess the effect of a new invented spondylolisthesis reduction system:elevating-pull reduction system for surgical treatment of lumbar spinal spondylolisthesis associated with isthmic spondylolysis.[Method]Sixty-two patients with lumbar spinal spondylolisthesis were treated with elevating-pull reduction system combined with SRS(spondylolisthesis reduction system),after surgery the patients were evaluated for symptom improvement,intervertebral bone graft fusion,and internal fixation.[Result]The patients were followed up from 1 to 6 years(average 2 years and 5 months) in 62 patients.According to the criterion,excellent results were in 43 patients,good in 16,moderate in 3.No patient showed worse.No internal fixation loosening and breakage were found.[Conclusion]The new invented spondylolisthesis elevating-pull reduction system combined with SRS are more effective and reliable,especially for those osteoporosis patients and serious cases,the reduction and fixation are more effectively.In this procedure the pedicle entrance mouth can be seen straightly and the pedicle screw is inserted more easily.It can prevent the nerve injury,save the operation time,reduce the blood lossing,and excellent outcome can be obtained.
