          Abstract

          The therapy for spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis is challenging in view of the large variety of treatment options. A general, standardized therapeutic concept has still not been established. Adequate therapy depends on different parameters and personal experience. Beside direct repair surgery of spondylolysis and low grade spondylolisthesis, dorsal, ventral and combined dorsoventral surgery, with or without instrumentation, are indicated depending on patients age and severity of the slip. Complications such as pseudarthrosis and progression of the slip develop in a given percentage of cases, but these are not significantly correlated with clinical symptoms. Decompression is necessary in high grade slippage with neurologic impairment, especially paresis. Reposition is associated with a higher risk of neurologic complications. Fusion in situ without instrumentation, even in moderate and severe spondylolisthesis, shows good clinical results with high fusion rates and without the increased risk of progression and pseudarthrosis. In many cases, it is an effective, safe and economic therapeutic option.
