Abstract

Data on the long-term outcome after fusion for isthmic spondylolisthesis are scarce. To study patient-reported outcomes and adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) after fusion for isthmic spondylolisthesis and to compare patient-reported outcomes with a control group. A prospective study including a cross-sectional control group. Patients with isthmic spondylolisthesis underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) (n=86) or posterolateral fusion (PLF) (n=77). Patient-reported outcome data were available for 73 patients in the PLIF group and 71 in the PLF group at a mean of 11 (range 5-16) years after baseline. Seventy-seven patients in the PLIF group and 54 in the PLF group had radiographs at a mean of 14 (range 9-19) years after baseline. One hundred thirty-six randomly selected persons from the population served as controls for the patient-reported outcomes. Patient-reported outcomes include the following: global outcome, Oswestry Disability Index, Disability Rating Index, and Short Form 36. The ASD was determined from radiographs using the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) grading scale. The chi-square test or analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used for group comparisons. The ANCOVA was adjusted for follow-up ti...Continue Reading
