Abstract
The article begins with a brief biography of H. Bohlman, a great orthopedist and person with strong impact on modern Medicine and Spine surgery. Using original Bohlamn technique with small modifications (instead of fibula graft used Rialto implant and performed posterior fixation L4-S2) we treated surgically two young females with L5 listhesis with success. Methods: Both patients were followed up during 1 year and 9 months and 1 year and 7 months . Results: Two young females of 18 years old with isthmic listhesis L5 were submitted to fixation L4-S2 and transsacral, transdical fusion with Rialto implant by Bohlman technique with partial reduction of listhesis. Both had resolution of the pain and ha ve maintained a good clinical outcome at 1 year and 9 months and another one at 1 year and 7 months follow up.
