Interbody Fusion and Instrumentation

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1994
Fusion indications in adult degenerative disk disease of the lumbosacral spine include isolated disk resorption, primary and secondary instability, recurrent disk herniation, and pseudarthrosis. Common to these indications are variable proportions of biomechanical insufficiency of the motion segment, instability, deformity, and spinal stenosis.

Intertransverse Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Spine, 2002
Cadaver dissection and case reports were used to describe a novel technique of lumbar interbody arthrodesis that accesses the intervertebral disc through a posterolateral intertransverse process approach.To describe the surgical approach and technique required in performing an intertransverse lumbar interbody fusion.

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion with an Interbody Fusion Spacer or Cage

2012
Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is a treatment option currently used for degenerative disc diseases (Bronsard et al., Three–column spinal fusion using ProSpace intervertebral blocks, in: Kaech and Jinkins, Spinal restabilisation procedures, Elsevier Science, Amsterdam, pp 153–170, 2002; Hacker, Spine 22:660–668, 1997; Kuslich et al., Spine 25 ...

Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2020
Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) is a minimally invasive technique that allows access to the lumbar spine from L1/2 to L4/5 for placement of wide interbody devices. This technique is used in the treatment of degenerative conditions, deformity, and infectious, neoplastic, and traumatic thoracolumbar pathology.

ANTERIOR INTERBODY FUSION FOR SPONDYLOLISTHESIS

Orthopedics, 1991
ABSTRACT We evaluated the clinical and radiologic results and the immobilizing effect of the Knight-Kim brace for bony union in 75 consecutive cases of spondylolisthesis treated by anterior interbody fusion. The fifth lumbar vertebra was the most common site involved (55%).

PERCUTANEOUS INTERBODY FUSIONS

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1998
Percutaneous interbody fusion procedures have evolved as a result of the need for precise and specific access corridors to facilitate the application of technology to perform these procedures. Endoscopic visualization has expanded minimally invasive capabilities, particularly in the thoracic and lumbar spine.

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1983
The greatest advantage of posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is that it dynamically decompresses neural structures by holding the vertebral bodies apart and fusing them into a single motion segment. After ten years of experience with PLIF, the authors recommend a technique that enhances a high rate of fusion by utilizing the following four ...

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2008
Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) create intervertebral fusion by means of a posterior approach. Both techniques are useful in managing degenerative disk disease, severe instability, spondylolisthesis, deformity, and pseudarthrosis.

Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Contemporary Spine Surgery, 2008
Lumbar interbody fusion techniques have been used for various indications since originally described 50 years ago. Technologic advances and improvements in our understanding of biomechanical principles have led to a refinement of the indications for and techniques used for the performance of lumbar interbody fusion. Minimally incisional techniques, the

Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Spine, 1988
This is a report of 85 patients who underwent anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) for treatment of painful disc disruption (PDD) or symptomatic pseudarthrosis. The fusion rate was 80% by disc. The pseudarthrosis rate increased from 16% at L5-S1 to 21% and 31% at L4-5 and L3-4, respectively. There was a significant increase in pseudarthrosis rate in
