Artificial Intelligence for the Treatment of Lumbar Spondylolisthesis

Neurosurg Clin N Am. 2019 Jul;30(3):383-389. doi: 10.1016/j.nec.2019.02.012.

Abstract

Multiple registries are currently collecting patient-specific data on lumbar spondylolisthesis including outcomes data. The collection of imaging diagnostics data along with comparative outcomes data following decompression versus decompression and fusion treatments for degenerative spondylolisthesis represents an enormous opportunity for modern machine-learning analytics research.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Lumbar laminectomy; Lumbar spinal fusion; Lumbar spondylolisthesis; Predictive analytics.
