SCOLIOSIS AND SPONDYLOLISTHESIS: A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM
https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2018.1.18-25
Abstract
Objective. To evaluate the results of surgical correction of scoliotic deformities in patients with spondylolisthesis.
Material and Methods. A total of 51 patients with scoliosis and spondylolisthesis were observed in 1998–2016. Spondylolisthesis was asymptomatic in 49 cases. Most patients had grade I spondylolisthesis. Surgical correction of scoliotic deformity of the spine with segmental instrumentation was performed in 31 cases.
Results. The average magnitude of the initial scoliotic curve before surgery was 67.2°, after surgery – 33.4°, and correction was 50.3 %. The magnitude of countercurve before surgery was 28.1°, after surgery – 11.1°, and correction was 35.5 %. In all cases, the L5 vertebra was not included in the spinal fusion zone. Progression of the degree of the L5 vertebra displacement in the postoperative period was not revealed. Neurological deficit was not observed. The average follow-up period was 5.4 ± 3.3 years.
Conclusion. Correction of idiopathic scoliosis in the presence of L5 spondylolisthesis can be carried out with good and satisfactory results and minimal risk of listhesis progression, and with preservation of the achieved result in the long-term period.
