Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of posterior pedicle screw reduction and fixation, decompressive laminectomy and massive autogenous bone grafting using bone particles harvested from resected vertebral body in treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis. Methods Fifty-six cases of lumbar spondylolisthesis treated from June 2005 and June 2006 were reviewed retrospectively. According to Meyerding classification, 35 cases were classified as grade Ⅰslippage and 21 cases as grade Ⅱ slippage. There were 19 spondylolisthesis at L4/5 and 37 at L5-S1. After posterior pedicle screw reduction and fixation, decompressive laminectomy and massive autologous bone grafting using particles of resected vertebral body, surgical outcome was analyzed. Results All cases achieved bone fusion without evidence of nail breakage or nerve injury. According to Macrab criteria, the results were excellent in 53 cases and good in three. Moreover, both the full reduction rate and interbody fusion rate were 100%. Conclusion Posterior pedicle screw reduction and fixation, decompressive laminectomy plus massive autogenous bone grafting is one of the ideal treatments for lumbar spondylolisthesis, for it achieves satisfactory fixation, decompression, reduction and fusion.
