The pathogenesis of slippage in pediatric spondylolisthesis is still unclear, although epiphyseal injury may account for many cases based on preclinical studies. However, no reports have described a pediatric case of isthmic spondylolisthesis showing radiologic evidence of epiphyseal injury. We report such evidence in a 13-year-old boy with low-back pain. Radiography revealed rounding of the S1 surface, a fracture line below the S1 endplate surface, and a bone marrow lesion in addition to slippage. Slippage and the rounding deformity were partially reversed (from 20 to 14% and from 42 to 27%, respectively) with conservative treatment and natural bone remodeling.

Short- and Mid-Term Outcomes Following ALIF and TLIF in L5-S1 Isthmic Spondylolisthesis Patients.
Int J Spine Surg

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA
Background: A limited number of studies have compared the outcomes of anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) to transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for the treatment of isthmic spondylolisthesis. This study aims to compare postoperative complications between these two surgical approaches.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed using a large national database.

Background: High-grade Isthmic Spondylolisthesis often requires surgical intervention for spinal realignment and decompression. This study describes a modified Bohlman procedure utilizing robotic-assisted navigation and a Globus SI-LOK interbody device.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on three patients who underwent the modified Bohlman procedure for high-grade spondylolisthesis at a single hospital between 2022 and 2023.
Standalone Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Without Supplementary Posterior Fixation Is Effective for Treatment of Symptomatic Grade 1 Isthmic Spondylolisthesis.

Background: There is a paucity of data examining anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) with pedicle-screw fixation (ALIF-PSF) or without (standalone, sa-ALIF) for the treatment of low-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis (IS). Treating pathology with sa-ALIF reduces costs, operative times, and posterior access morbidity. This study aimed to investigate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of sa-ALIF for the management of low-grade IS compared with an ALIF-PSF cohort.

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).
