A method for intra-operative surgical treatment of spondylolisthesis by an
anterior minimally invasive approach of the lumbar spine includes
inserting an interbody spacer between two vertebrae, attaching an
anatomically designed reduction plate to at least one of the two
vertebrae, and attaching the interbody spacer to the reduction plate by a
fastening means through a central borehole of the reduction plate and the
interbody spacer. The interbody spacer may be attached to the anteriorly
positioned vertebra by at least bone screw. The upper and lower parts may
be attached to the upper and lower vertebra by at least one bone screw to
stabilize the displaced vertebral segment of the spine.
