There was overmobility of L2-3 and L3-4. Foraminotomy of the right L3 and L4 roots. Discectomy of L2-3 and L3-4 with insertion of TraXis 7x9x21 mm PEEK TLIF to both disci with harvested bone graft and NovaBone. 2 polyaxial Zimmer transpedicular screws inserted to the L3 body. 2 fixed screws were inserted to L2 body and one polyaxial to the left side of L4 and monoaxial screw to the right side of L4. All screws were 6.5x40 mm length. The fusion was achieved with slight compression with 2 rods 5 mm diameter and 65 mm length. Cross connector 72 mm length was inserted to obtain more stability to the spine. The NovaBone and harvested bone was inserted lateral to the rods.

Comments

The patient has stenosis with extruded disc at L2-3 and spondylolisthesis of L3-4. Decompression and fusion of all segments is the best option in this case.

Postoperative check X-ray showing the position of the screws and the cages.
