Abstract
The clinical foil-up of 66 patients was obtained by re-examination and 67 patients by questionnaires. They were followed more than minimum of three years after surgery. The over-all clinical results were as follows: forty-seven patients (71.2per cent) excellent, twelve patients (18.1per cent) good, six patients (9.1per cent) fair and one patient (1.5per cent) poor.Of thirty-four patients without fusion, 97per cent were satisfactory. On the other hand, of thirty-two patients with fusion, 81per cent achieved excellent and good results. The incidence of fair and poor results, caused by residual low back pain and numbness of foot, was greater in the fusion group than in the non-fusion group.The relationship between the clinical results and roentgenographic changes was not significant.
