Abstract
The goals of surgical treatment of spondylolisthesis are as follows: decompression of neuronal structures, stabilization of spondylolytic instability, reduction of slippage, restoration of the disk height, and restoration of the sagittal alignment. With the appropriate instruments, it is possible to instrument a single compartment and, in most cases, to completely reduce the spondylolisthesis. This technique allows an instrumented monosegmental slippage reduction of low- and middle-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis via fusion with a polyaxial internal fixator, titanium spacer, and cross-link connector.
