Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 6
Abstract
Kilian coined the term spondylolisthesis in1894 from the Greek words, spodylos meaning vertebra and olithenein meaning slip1. Surgery is not mandatory for spondylolisthesis. When there are definite neurological symptoms supported by radiological features, urgent surgery is considered to give relief to the patient. The basic point of surgery is to remove the impinging and malfunctioning structures and maintaining stability.Internal fixation devices are longitudinal rods or plates, attached to the screws placed within the pedicles2. This prospective study is from January 2007 to end of 2012 and was to study spondylolisthesis surgeries and their subsequent follow up.
