Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Lumbar spondylolysis is typically caused by a stress fracture of the bone, especially for who over-train in activities. Besides, there is hereditary that can make one more susceptible to the defect. The treatment methods include conservative management and surgery, both with their own indications, advantages, disadvantages and prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the range of application, advantages and disadvantages of each treatment method of spondylolysis.
METHODS: PubMed, CNKI, and VIP databases were retrieved using the keywords of “spondylolysis, isthmic spondylolisthesis, treatment/therapy” in English and Chinese, respectively. The articles were grouped based on the treatment method after skimming the abstract, and then the indications, operative principles, and advantages/disadvantages were recorded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Surgeries of spondylolysis are classified as interbody fusion, Buck’s method, Scott’s fusion, pedicle screw-hook system, memory alloy plates for internal fixation, segmental fusion and mini-invasive treatment. Among which, Buck’s methods and pedicle screw-hook system are widely accepted. Additionally, minimally invasive treatment becomes more and more prevailed.
