Comparative Finite Element Analysis of Lumbar Cortical Screws and Pedicle Screws in Transforaminal and Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion [PDF]
Neurospine, 2019 Objective Lumbar cortical screw fixation (CSF), rather than pedicle screw fixation (PSF), has recently been attempted in lumbar interbody fusion. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the biomechanical stability of lumbar CSF using a finite element ...

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion [PDF]
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 ...
