Our study aimed to investigate the clinical benefits of combining pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) techniques for treating chronic lumbosacral radicular (CLSR) pain resulting from grade I spondylolisthesis (G1SL). Ninety-six patients with CLSR pain between March 2021 and March 2023 were included in this study, 58 patients with G1SL without instability on dynamic radiographs - Group A and 38 patients with instability - Group B. Pre-procedure, Group B had higher pain levels than Group A.

Traumatic lumbosacral instability (TLSI) generally refers to a traumatic disruption of the lumbopelvic junction. The ambiguous use of this term has contributed to confusion and limited understanding of injuries that can impact lumbosacral stability. As of now, TLSI lacks a clear definition, and the underlying injury patterns remain inadequately characterized.

Background: In recent years, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models has revolutionized the diagnosis of Low Back Pain (LBP) and associated disc pathologies. Among these, SpineNetV2 stands out as a state-of-the-art, open-access model for detecting and grading various intervertebral disc pathologies. However, ensuring the reliability and applicability of AI models like SpineNetV2 is paramount.

- The study highlights the benefits of lateral indirect decompression over traditional posterior approaches for treating low-grade spondylolisthesis, demonstrating that it can effectively release nerves with fewer complications using minimally invasive techniques and intraoperative neuromonitoring.
- A total of 20 patients underwent the minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) from 2022 to March 2024, with impressive postoperative results, including significant reductions in back and leg pain, and a successful correction of spondylolisthesis.
- Follow-up data showed a mean operation time of about 81 minutes, minimal blood loss, and a short hospital stay, with 75% of patients rated

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.
