Background Pedicle screw fixation the gold standard for lumbar spine stabilization. Pedicle screw has fixation offers multiple advantages, allowing superior correction of spinal deformities, and reduced rates of loss of non-union. Cortical Bone Trajectory (CBT) is a new technique in which screws follow a caudal-to-cephalad path in the sagittal plane and a medial-to-lateral directed path in the transverse plane. CBT is reducing operative and post-operative complications and has high fixation strength. Purpose To Compare the clinical outcomes between CBT and traditional trajectory (TT) in surgical management of degenerative spondylolisthesis. Materials and Methods A comprehensive electronic search in Pubmed, MEDLINE and Chocrane library databases, Google scholar and Research gate for articles that published between 2009 to 2020 using these keywords: Cortical bone trajectory, Cortical bone trajectory-pedicle screw, Pedicle screw. Results The majority of literature suggests that the CBT technique results in similar or decreased postoperative back and leg pain compared to TT. Regarding the disability ODI and the operative time showed no significant differences between the CBT and TT. Radiographic outcomes between both studies show no statistical difference in fusion rates and vertebral slippage. Intraoperative blood loss was significantly less with CBT compared to TT. Conclusion there is no widely accepted consensus regarding comparison of clinical outcomes and complications between the CBT and TT procedures. Generally, indications for CBT and TT are similar between most studies, especially for common pathologies resulting in spondylolisthesis.
