TL;DR: On the basis on this review, the reduction of high-grade spondylolisthesis potentially improves overall spine biomechanics by correcting the local kyphotic deformity and reducing vertebral slippage.

TL;DR: Few studies are available to date to accurately establish which bone defects should be treated with bone procedures and the exact percentage of bone loss leading to higher risk of redislocation in clinical settings.

TL;DR: Although most preclinical and clinical studies are very promising, they are still at an experimental stage and more prospective randomised controlled trials are needed to compare the different techniques for clinical results, applicability, and cost-effectiveness.

TL;DR: A higher frequency of wrong-level surgery in lumbar procedures than in cervical procedures was found, and only one study assessed preventative strategies for wrong-site surgery, demonstrating that current site-verification protocols did not prevent about one-third of the cases.

TL;DR: Compared with total ankle replacement, there is some evidence to support TAR to conserve ankle motion and offer improved function and decreased pain with high satisfaction rates, but revision rates for TAR are significantly higher than revise rates for AA.
