Cause/etiology
One cause is spondylolisthesis.
Treatment
Surgery may improve outcome at two years in patients with spinal stenosis not from spondylolisthesis according to the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT) randomized controlled trial.[2]
Surgery may improve outcome at two years in patients with spondylolisthesis according to the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT) randomized controlled trial.[3]
