Radiographs were examined in 35 patients who had had posterior decompression without fusion of the lumbar spine. Spondylolysis was found in 10 patients. Segmental range of motion, degree of vertebral slippage and width of decompression were analyzed by radiography. There was greater vertebral slippage after surgery in patients with postoperative spondylolysis than in those without spondylolysis. We conclude that excessive bony decompression may cause postoperative spondylolysis.Downloads
