Abstract
The most logical indication for this instrumentation is the older subject aged at least 65 years with degenerative lumber spondylolysis and a predominantly self-reducible angular displacement and satisfactory disc height. This context (group 3 in our series) occurs in patients with a weak sacral slope and incidence, as well as minimal lordosis adapted to the pelvic parameters. The Dynesys® instrumentation can be a palliative alternative to fusion for more advanced degenerative lumber spondylolysis occurring on spines with anterior imbalance where fusion would be technically difficult in terms of correction of the kyphosis or because of the general risk factors.
