Analyze outcome of circumferential arthrodesis (CA) with ALIF (Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion) and pedicle screw fixation for the treatment of all-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis, with indirect neurological decompression. Retrospective study of isthmic spondylolisthesis treated with CA, with one-year follow-up. Clinical scores were collected at one year: VAS-L, VAS-R and ODI. Pelvic parameters, L4-S1 lordosis and at index and adjacent levels, and lumbo-sacral angle (LSA) were measured pre- and post-operatively and at last follow-up. Foraminal surface and diameters were measured pre- operatively and at follow-up on CT-Scan. Level of evidence: IV. 87 patients were included. Mean VAS-L was 2.3, mean VAS-R was 1, and mean ODI was 13.8%. 10% of the patients presented a high-grade spondylolisthesis and 50% a grade II. Mean lordosis at index level shifted from 6\u00b0 to 18\u00b0, L4-S1 lordosis increased from 37 to 45\u00b0 and LSA shifted from 116 to 125\u00b0 (p&lt;0.001). The foraminal surface increased from 50mm 2 to 70mm 2 at last follow-up mostly through the supero-inferior diameter, shifting from 7.4mm to 9.5mm (p&lt;0.001). In LSA&lt;90\u00b0 group, mean correction was 20\u00b0 at index level, 13\u00b0 at L4-S1 and 21\u00b0 for LSA versus 11\u00b0, 8\u00b0 and 8\u00b0 respectively in LSA&gt;90\u00b0 group (p&lt;0.001). Fusion rate was estimated at 96.5%. One infection, 5 sympathetic dysfunctions, one retrograde ejaculation, one iliac vein injury, one incisional hernia, one lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury and two adjacent syndromes have been noted. CA is an efficient technique for the treatment of isthmic spondylolisthesis of all grades, with an acceptable rate of complications. It allows a restoration of the regional lordosis as well as a foraminal widening, avoiding additional decompression.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.52628\/87.4.27","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,16]],"date-time":"2022-02-16T20:39:46Z","timestamp":1645043986000},"page":"787-794","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Isthmic spondylolisthesis treated with circumferential arthrodesis (ALIF and posterior fixation): correction, fusion and indirect decompression"],"prefix":"10.52628","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"M","family":"Khalif\u00e9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Dauzac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T","family":"Lenoir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B","family":"Magrino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"27062","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Beutler WJ, Fredrickson BE, Murtland A, et al.
