Retrospective Clinical Cohort Study27 Adolescent Patients
Advanced Surgical Correction of High-Grade Spondylolisthesis in Adolescents
High-grade spondylolisthesis is a severe spinal condition where one vertebra slips significantly over another (>50% slip), commonly affecting adolescents and young patients. It leads to persistent, severe lower back pain, postural deformity (crouched gait), neurological deficits, and restricted mobility. Treating this condition in pediatric populations is technically demanding due to the high risk of traction injury to L5 nerve roots, progressive spinal imbalance, and controversy over whether to attempt complete reduction or perform a fusion in situ.
