An interventional study of Unilateral Transforaminal Interbody fusion and Bilateral Transforaminal Interbody fusion in Degenerative Spondylolisthesis and Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion, sponsored by Kyungpook National University Hospital. Status unknown at 1 site in Korea, Republic of. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-02-27.
Sponsored by Kyungpook National University Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
A prospective randomized controlled trial for comparison of radiologic outcomes of "single level transforaminal interbody fusion(TLIF) technique via unilateral versus bilateral facetectomy for the treatment of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis
Traditionally many spine surgeons prefer single level TLIF surgery via bilateral facetectomy for increasing union rate. Our hypothesis - "Single level TLIF via unilateral facetectomy is sufficient for achieve successful fusion rate"
237 studies on the registry are indexed under Spondylolisthesis; 47 are open to participants now.
