What you will cover in this lecture
This spine surgery lecture looks at Sagittal Balance in L5-S1 Spondylolisthesis, beginning with a discussion of the implications of pelvic incidence in progression of the slip. The situations where the pelvis is stable and does not need aggressive treatment, and the places where one may have to consider bringing the whole slip at its original place, are described. Finally, a classification system is described which may help in decision making regarding the type of surgery and considering earlier intervention in cases which are at a higher risk of progression.
