Decompression-Only for Lumbar Degenerative Spondylolisthesis - What are the Risk for Failure? - A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Study DesignSystematic review.ObjectiveThe current literature suggests that decompression-only procedures may be an adequate treatment option for low-grade degenerative spondylolisthesis. It is necessary to understand the causes of the failure to adequately select patients to achieve acceptable results. Our aim is to identify factors associated with failure of decompression-only procedures for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.MethodsAn independent systematic review of scientific databases (PubMed, Scopus, clinicaltrials. gov, Web of Science) was performed to identify relevant articles as per the preferred reporting in systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies analysing the risk factors for failure following decompression-only procedure for degenerative lumbar s
