Abstract: | A 21-year-old male patient with L5-S1 spondyloptosis was treated by total L-5 laminectomy with foraminotomy and posterior fusion through the posterior approach. His complaints of severe low back pain and limited spine mobility were resolved. No new deficits occurred. The surgical management of spondyloptosis includes one-, two-, or three-stage operations with posterior, anterior, or combined approaches. Careful posterior decompression and posterior fusion without reduction may be adequate for the treatment of L5-S1 spondyloptosis. |
