NCT ID NCT00869882
First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at 60 adults with a spine condition called degenerative spondylolisthesis, where a vertebra slips forward. All patients needed surgery to fuse the bones in their lower back. The goal was to see if adding an extra step (TLIF) to the standard fusion surgery (GPLI) led to better bone healing and fewer complications. The results help doctors choose the best surgical approach for this condition.
