According to research published in August of 2021 in the Journal of Neurosurgery, decompression with fusion compared to decompression alone is a better option for patients with isthmic spondylolisthesis. In a randomized controlled trial including 84 patients who were randomly assigned to one of two groups, primary outcome parameters were scores on the Roland Disability Questionnaire (RDQ), separate visual analog scales (VASs) for back pain and leg pain, and patient reports of perceived recovery at 12-week and 2-year follow-ups. Decompression with instrumented fusion resulted in comparable short-term results, significantly better long-term outcomes, and fewer reoperations than decompression alone. SAGICO products are excellent to help treat degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, trauma, spinal stenosis, curvatures, tumors, pseudoarthrosis, and failed previous fusion.
