BACKGROUND: @entity179 is a common cause of @entity615 that requires surgical intervention, posterolateral and posterior instrumental fixation (PLF), posterior lumber interbody fusion (PLIF) and @entity11375 ( @entity11375 ) are the techniques used to deal with such a problem. OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical and radiological outcome of the variable surgical techniques used to deal with @entity179 and to recommend the technique of choice. METHODS: 120 @entity1 were treated between 2003 and 2010 at king Abdullah university hospital for @entity66 . The @entity1 were divided into three groups: Group I (PLF n   =   30 [59 levels]); Group II (PLIF n   =   40 [70 levels]); and Group III ( @entity11375 n   =   50 [96 levels]). All @entity1 had the same pre- and postoperative clinical and radiological evaluations (using Stanford score and local criteria and @entity717 Index [ODI],). All cases had three months and then yearly for five years follow ups. RESULTS: There was no observed difference in the rates of @entity532 (Group I: 10  %; Group II: 8  %; Group III: 14  %; p   =   0.566) and @entity260 (Group I: 13.3  %, Group II:17.5  %, Group III: 18  % with p   =   0.332). Among the groups. There was a vital decrease in the ODI scores over time (p   <   0.005) but no major difference among the groups at different follow-up times. Radiographic fusion rates for Groups I, II and III were 90  %, 92.5  % and 94  %, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The surgical outcome of PLF, PLIF and @entity11375 used to treat @entity179 is almost similar, there is no significant differences observed in complications and clinical outcomes. However, TILF may have better radiological outcome.
