Summary

The first technique described for interbody fusion was the anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF).(20) For this technique, the intervertebral disc is accessed through a retroperitoneal or transperitoneal approach. While the posterior approach was first described by Russell Hibbs in 1911, in the 1950's, Cloward (7)popularized the posterior approach for a posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).

Detailed description

In this study we will try to identify the benefits and outcome of posterior lumbar interbody fusion and inter transverse process bone graft fusion.

• Lumbar Spondylolisthesis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Posterior lumbar interbody fusion	Lumbar fusion by screws and inter vertebral cage
PROCEDURE	Inter transverse bone grafting	Inter transverse process bone grafting by bone graft from illiac crest or other sites
