Objective:
To observe the clinical outcomes of using a new instrumentation SOCON system in the treatment of degenerative spondylolisthesis.
Methods:
Retrospective clinical and roentgenograph review of 21 patients who suffered from degenerative spondylolisthesis with spinal stenosis treated by decompression, posterolateral intertransverse arthrodesis, and with transpedicle instrumentation of SOCON system.
Results:
Nineteen of 21 patients were completely recovery from their preoperative symptoms, 17 of 18 cases with grade one slippage reduced to normal spine alignment, 2 cases of grade two slippage fully reduced, and one case of grade two spondylolisthesis got 70% reduction. Post-operative satisfactory rate was 90.5%. Pain relief was 90.5%. Neither infection nor neurologic complication occurred in this series.
Conclusion:
Our short time follow-up and limited cases showed satisfactory preliminary result of surgical treatment of spondylolisthesis with SOCON instrumentation.
