Abstract
Degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis is a common condition that predisposes patients to low back pain, radicular pain and on occasion neurologic deficits in the lower extremities. Early identification of instability can help play a role in the treatment of this condition. Non-operative management including physical therapy and interventional treatments can help reduce pain and disability in these patients.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Spine Surgery is a continuing source of current, clinical information for practicing surgeons. Under the direction of a specially selected guest editor, each issue addresses a single topic in the management and care of patients. Topics covered in each issue include basic anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, management options and follow-up of the condition under consideration. The journal also features "Spinescope," a special section providing summaries of articles from other journals that are of relevance to the understanding of ongoing research related to the treatment of spinal disorders.
