OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of fusion technique via posterior instrumentation in combination with transverse decompression in the surgical treatment of @entity2649 . METHODS: Forty-five @entity1 -39 @entity1 (86.7%) and 6 @entity1 (13.3%)-were included. Mean age was 58.68  8.63 years with mean follow-up of 51.71  20.96 months. Preoperative and postoperative clinical evaluation was performed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for @entity158 . Preoperative and postoperative imaging studies were used to measure the degree of spondylolisthesis and the angle of @entity1635 and @entity1515 . The presence of preoperative facet joint @entity4040 and changes in the diameter of anterior, posterior, and transverse spinal canal were assessed by computed tomography (CT). Preoperative @entity1797 , and spondylolisthesis were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RESULTS: Mean preoperative ODI and VAS scores were 59.2% and 7.06, respectively, while postoperative ODI and VAS scores were 14.4% and 1.7%, respectively (p=0.001). Anteroposterior diameter of the central canal increased from 10.43  2.18 mm preoperatively to 19.63  2.01 mm postoperatively (p=0.0001). Mean preoperative and postoperative spondylolisthesis were 5.81  4.88 mm and 3.87  4.53 mm, respectively (p=0.0001). Mean preoperative and postoperative @entity1635 angles were 5.84    10.14   and 2.04    5.08  , respectively (p=0.0002). Mean preoperative and postoperative @entity1515 angles were 22.47    13.98   and 33.73    10.89  , respectively (p=0.0001). Complications included @entity1151 in 1 @entity1 (2.2%), superficial @entity130 in 1 @entity1 (2.2%), and deep @entity281 in 1 @entity1 (2.2%). Two @entity1 (4.4%) experienced dural tears. One @entity1 (2.2%) had intraoperative radix damage. CONCLUSION: The results of the present study suggest that the fusion technique via posterior instrumentation, in combination with transverse decompression, offers a clinical improvement in @entity1 with @entity2649 .
