Does Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Have Advantages over Posterolateral Lumbar Fusion for Degenerative Spondylolisthesis?

Abstract

The author regrets an error in the Conclusion of the above article, published in the Global Spine Journal, Volume 5, Number 2, 2015 (DOI: 10.1055/s-0034-1396432). The word “reduction” was inadvertently omitted. The corrected Conclusion appears below.

Conclusion

The TLIF group demonstrated significantly greater improvement in low back pain and unilateral leg pain compared with the PLF group. However, no differences in improvement in either ODI or PCS were noted between the groups. The postoperative slippage reduction and disk height were significantly greater in the TLIF group, but local disk lordosis, lumbar lordosis, and pelvic parameters were similar between the groups.
