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 ...

Microscopically Assisted Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1991Microscopically assisted posterior lumbar interbody fusion was performed on 27 patients who had either spondylolisthesis or chronic lower back pain after previous lower back surgery. Overall improved satisfactory results occurred in 22 of 27 patients. Roentgenographic, stable, interbody fusion occurred in 22 of 27 patients.

Applications of a resorbable interbody spacer in posterior lumbar interbody fusion
Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2002✓ Polyhydroxy acids are a promising class of resorbable materials with potential applications in spinal surgery. One such polymer, MacroPore (MacroPore Biosurgery, Inc.), offers a balance of strength, predictable degradation, lack of stimulus of foreign body reaction, and biocompatibility with neural tissue.

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion with Specialized Instruments
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1985Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) has been performed in 100 individuals by use of specialized surgical instruments and allogeneic preserved bone grafts from 1979 to March 1982, after the advantages of performing PLIF in 342 individuals from 1965 to 1978 were noted. No deaths occurred, nor any infections or thrombophlebitis postoperation. Eleven (

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Technique
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1985To assure a high degree of lumbar interbody fusion, four biomechanic principles should be observed: preservation of posterior portion of the motion segment (this would stabilize and compress the grafts); near total discectomy to render a larger area for recipient graft site; maximum impaction of mixed cancellous and unicortical peg grafts; and partial ...

Spinal Stenosis and Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1985One hundred forty-two patients with the common types of spinal stenosis were treated by posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). The majority of the patients had one or more decompressive procedures prior to PLIF. The results were excellent or good in 78%.

Unilateral Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1985Two hundred sixteen patients were treated by a simplified unilateral posterior lumbar interbody fusion (U-PLIF) in which the disc was removed and replaced by bone. The disc was approached far laterally by removing two-thirds of the superior facet preserving most of the ligamentum flavum, removing the disc, decorticating in a semicircular fashion the ...
