Purpose: For patients who suffered from L5 spondylolysis and fail to improve using conservative treatment, the best surgical strategy remains controversial. This study compares the efficacy of the treatment of L5 spondylolysis using the smiley face rod (SFR) method versus intervertebral fusion (IF).
Methods: We analyzed 38 patients with L5 spondylolysis who underwent surgery in our department between January 2017 and June 2019.

Background: The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classifications allow physicians to briefly assess a patient's risk for general anesthesia and surgical intervention. Although simple to calculate, a patient's ASA score may correlate with differences in outcomes following spinal operations. The purpose of this study is to establish the effect of ASA score on Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) outcomes following Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF).

Aim: To compare lumbar X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and to identify the factors associated with joint instability in cases with lumbar spondylolisthesis.
Material And Methods: We performed a retrospective and observational study of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of lumbar or lumbosacral low-grade spondylolisthesis at a single level. Preoperative X-ray and MRI examinations were evaluated.
[Clinical study of isthmic spondylolisthesis treated with Mis-TLIF assisted by preoperative posture reduction and intraoperative lifting reduction].

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effectiveness of a minimally invasive surgical technique, Mis-TLIF, combined with preoperative position reduction for treating lumbar isthmic spondylolisthesis, comparing it with traditional open surgery (Open-TLIF).
- A total of 60 patients were analyzed over a six-year period, divided into an observation group receiving Mis-TLIF and a control group undergoing Open-TLIF, with both groups having similar demographics and disease characteristics.
- The analysis focused on various surgical outcomes, including operation time, blood loss, hospital stay, radiation exposure, and complications, as well as patient recovery measured through pain and disability scales.
Predictors of time to achieve clinically significant improvements following lateral lumbar interbody fusion.

Background: As lateral lumbar interbody fusions (LLIF) are increasingly performed, our understanding of postoperative clinical trajectories is important in informing preoperative patient expectations. While minimum clinically important difference (MCID) rates are widely utilized in spine surgery literature, there is less published on how long it takes for patients to achieve MCID following LLIF.
Objective: To evaluate the length of time it takes for patients to report MCID achievement for back pain, leg pain, disability, and physical function and evaluate predictors of time to achieve MCID.
