Biomechanics of Spinal Fixation and Fusion
Spine, 1991Recent experiments have shown that in the sheep spine a displacement of 5.2 mm and a strain of 36% was present at the lumbosacral joint, where fusion almost never occurred when multiple, small (5 mm x 14 mm) cancellous and corticocancellous bone grafts were placed in an interlocking fashion across the decorticated lamina of the lumbar spine and sacrum.

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2020
There are a number of bone regeneration therapeutics available to aid spinal fusion; however, many are associated with pseudarthrosis, inflammation, and other complications. Mesenchymal stem cells for fusion has been promoted to mitigate these risks and achieve successful bony fusion.

Laminectomy With and Without Spinal Fusion
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1987This retrospective study evaluates two groups of patients surgically treated for a symptomatic, myelographically proven, herniated nucleus pulposus with a follow-up period from 3.5 to 16 years. One hundred thirty-four patients were treated with laminectomy, discectomy, and fusion (LDF) between the years 1972 and 1978; 49 returned for follow-up ...

Gene therapy for spinal fusion
The Spine Journal, 2005Spinal fusion will continue to be an important part of the surgical treatment of spinal pathology for the foreseeable future. Traditional challenges to successful spinal fusion surgery include autograft donor site morbidity and pseudoarthrosis. Recent advances in the understanding of the biology of bone formation have allowed the development of ...

Rationale for Spinal Fusion in Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Spine, 1989In order to define the indications for spinal fusion in patients undergoing decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis, 114 patients surgically treated were reviewed. Follow-up was 24 to 108 months. Patients were grouped into four categories: 15 with lateral recess stenosis, 45 with central-mixed stenosis, 43 with stenosis following prior lumbar surgery ...

Synthetic Biomaterials for Spinal Fusion
Orthopedics, 1989ABSTRACT: Calcium hydroxylapatite (HAP), tricalcium phosphate (TCP), and Bioglass (BG) were implanted in the spines of dogs to determine their potential in augmenting and enhancing spinal fusion. HAP and TCP showed continuous bone to biomaterial interfaces of varying degrees.

BONE GRAFTING FOR SPINAL FUSION
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1999At least 250,000 spinal fusions are performed in the United States each year, nearly all requiring implantation of bone graft material. The preferred technique for most of these operations is the transplantation of structured or morcellized autologous corticocancellous bone from the iliac crest.

Laparoscopic Spinal Fusion Procedures
AORN Journal, 1997ABSTRACTLaparoscopic procedures, such as spinal fusions, facilitate patients' faster returns to functioning lifestyles. Fusions using implanted threaded cylinders made of a porous titanium alloy can be performed at the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine levels.
