Decompression and Dynamic Sagittal Tether Stabilization for Degenerative Spondylolisthesis: Primary Outcomes of a Multicenter FDA IDE Trial.

Spine·August 31, 2026·PMID 42672109

Why it matters

Degenerative spondylolisthesis with stenosis often leads to fusion surgery, which carries higher morbidity and cost. A less invasive stabilization option that preserves motion and reduces adjacent segment stress could offer comparable outcomes with faster recovery.
