Vertebropexy as a Ligamentous Stabilization for Degenerative Low-Grade Spondylolisthesis: A Report of 3 Cases
Abstract
Case: Three patients with low-grade spondylolisthesis were treated with vertebropexy, a new surgical technique that replaces rigid fusion with ligamentous stabilization. Clinical outcomes, functional radiographs, and magnetic resonance imaging were used to document the early clinical results of this biomechanically established and promising new surgical method.
Conclusion: Vertebropexy may be a valuable alternative to rigid fusion in the treatment of low-grade degenerative spondylolisthesis. Show more
