Prospective Assessment of Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) in Spondylolisthesis: A Radiological and Functional Outcome Study in an Indian Population
This study provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of TLIF surgery in addressing spondylolisthesis, both in terms of radiological and functional outcomes. However, there was no correlation between improvement in functional and radiological parameters (PI vs. ODI, SVA vs. ODI). TLIF appears to offer significant improvements in patient well-being and quality of life. These findings contribute to understanding TLIF's suitability as a treatment for spondylolisthesis and can inform clinical practice, ultimately benefiting patients suffering from this condition.
