Measurement of a Posterior Occipitocervical Fusion Angle
Journal of Spinal Disorders & Techniques, 2010A method for evaluating occipitocervical neutral position is described.To describe and measure a posterior occipitocervical angle (POCA) in normal subjects that can be used to guide contouring of fusion implants to achieve occipitocervical neutral fusion and for use in standardized testing of occipitocervical constructs.The goal of occipitocervical ...

Advances in posterior lumbar interbody fusion
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2002Since the introduction of the PLIF by Cloward in the 1950s, there have been great improvements in our understanding of the pathophysiology of spinal degenerative diseases and the potential morbidities associated with their surgical management. The advent of durable interbody fusion cages and bone grafting alternatives has lessened the morbidity of bone

POSTERIOR FUSION OF THE SPINE FOR SCOLIOSIS
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 19591. Posterior fusion of the spine in scoliosis cannot be relied upon to maintain correction of the curve or to prevent progression of a vicious resistant curve. It can, however, hold to some extent the correction of a mobile curve and the compensation of a fixed curve. 2.

Posterior atlantoaxial (C1-C2) fixation techniques have evolved significantly in recent years. Although older instrumentation methods have mostly fallen out of favor, the complex and variable anatomy of the C1 and C2 vertebrae requires surgeons to have multiple bailout methods for instrumentation and arthrodesis.

The Posterior Interspinous Fusion in the Treatment of Quadriplegia
Spine, 1983The purpose of this report is to describe our experience with the posterior interspinous fusion in the treatment of spinal injury with quadriplegia. The charts and roentgenograms of 22 patients treated with this operation by the senior author (RW) from July 1978 to June 1981 were reviewed retrospectively. Follow-up averaged 19.5 months.

Posterior Occipitocervical Fusion
Spine, 1991A new technique for occipitocervical fusion is described. The fixation of the upper cervical spine with plates and screws avoids the possible disadvantages of the commonly used wiring technique. By the establishment of a rigid fixation between the occiput and upper cervical spine with a combination of plates and screws, especially with transarticular ...

A Biomechanical Comparison of Posterolateral Fusion and Posterior Fusion in the Lumbar Spine
Journal of Spinal Disorders & Techniques, 2002Late postoperative complications occurred after posterior fusion and posterolateral fusion as a result of biomechanical alterations. The stress change between the two fusion procedures has not been well reported. To differentiate the biomechanical alteration that occurs with posterior fusion and posterolateral fusion of the lumbar spine, the load ...

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Updated
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1985Based on over 45 years' experience in the surgical treatment of lumbar disc disease, it is recommended that the following operations be eliminated: the simple discectomy, which may cure the sciatica but not the back pain; the "decompressive laminectomy," which leaves the patient with painful instability and nerve-root scarring; and chemonucleolysis ...

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion with an Interbody Fusion Spacer or Cage
2012Posterior 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 ...

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion with Posterior Elements as Chip Grafts
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1985The advantages of posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) have been enumerated over the past 40 years. A surgical technique of PLIF, with use of posterior elements cut into small corticocancellous chips measuring 2-4 mm as graft material, has distinct advantages.
