Retrolisthesis and lumbar disc herniation: a postoperative assessment of outcomes at 8 year follow-up

Lumbar disc herniation and retrolisthesis have been shown to be significant degenerative changes that can be associated with back pain. Current literature has shown evidence that retrolisthesis is associated with similar baseline function in patients with L5-S1 disc herniation, but worse post-operative outcomes 2 years after lumbar discectomy. However, literature comparing long-term post-operative outcomes at 8-year follow-up in patients with L5-S1 disc herniation with retrolisthesis is lacking.
