Posterior Fusion for Scheuermann's Kyphosis

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1990
Ten patients with Scheuermann's kyphosis were surgically treated with posterior spine fusion and Harrington heavy compression-rod instrumentation. This procedure relieved pain and deformity in all ten patients. The average follow-up period was 26.6 months.

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 cervical fusion in children

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1976
✓ Six cases of posterior cervical fusion with rib grafts in children are reported. Four of the children had sustained cervical spine injuries in accidents, and two had congenital absence of the odontoid. Three-level fusions (C1–3) were done in four children, and four-level fusions (C1–4) in two.

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.

The Failed Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Spine, 1991
The problems presented by unsuccessful posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) have not been addressed. The cases of 12 patients who presented with failed PLIF were reviewed. Five patients were male and seven female (age range, 24-50 years; mean age, 40 years). All patients underwent at least one PLIF; many had undergone other procedures.

Posterior Lumbar Fusion

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2014
The choice among the many options of approach and adjunct techniques in planning a posterior lumbar fusion can be problematic. Debates remain as to whether solid fusion has an advantage over pseudarthrosis regarding long-term symptom deterioration and whether an instrumented or a noninstrumented approach will best serve clinically and/or cost ...

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion and Plates

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1988
Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is accepted by many authors as the surgical treatment for herniated discs, degenerative disc conditions, and Grades I and II spondylolistheses. PLIF is now used in conjunction with newly developed segmental spine plates by using transpedicular screw fixation to enhance the osteosynthesis and success rate of ...
