Abstract
Result: Anterior slippage of the L5 was surgically reduced. The patient wore a brace for 3 months postoperatively, and partial bone fusion was noted 6 months postoperatively. He resumed his sports activity 8 months postoperatively, and absolute bone fusion was confirmed 18 months postoperatively. Implant removal was performed 3 years postoperatively. Grade 1 slip was corrected with absolute bone fusion, and long-term follow-up revealed good results in terms of healing and rehabilitation.
