Clinical profile of patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis

Abstract

The most common type of spondylolisthesis in adults is degenerative. The incidence of degenerative spondylolisthesis is around 8.7%. Degenerative spondylolisthesis is more commonly found in women. The overall annual age-standardized rates of degenerative spondylolisthesis are higher among women than among men. A prospective study was conducted on patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis in adults treated with posterior lumbar interbody fusion with posterolateral fusion in the Department of Orthopedics. Clearance from the institutional ethics committee was obtained before the study was started. A detailed informed, written and video consent was obtained. About 26.67% adult patients are having symptoms since 4years, 10.67% having since 2 years, and 16% having since 3 years. About 57.34% females were included in study.
