Comparison of the smiley face rod method versus intervertebral fusion for the treatment of L5 spondylolysis in adults
The SFR and IF both improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life of patients with L5 spondylolysis. However, the SFR technique had the advantages of a shorter operation time and less blood loss than IF; it could also preserve the ROM of the surgical segment and had little influence on adjacent segments in short-term follow-ups.
