Neurologic Clinics, 2022
Spinal fusion is frequently performed for a variety of indications. It is performed to treat instability due to trauma, infection, or neoplasm. It may be used to treat regional or global spinal deformity. There are even occasions when it is appropriate as a treatment of low back pain without overt instability or deformity.

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2005
Since its initial description about a century ago, spinal fusion has become a common surgical intervention in the treatment of various debilitating spinal disorders. However, given the complexities and demands of the procedure, patient selection remains a key component in the success of the operation.

The principles of bony spinal fusion
Neurosurgery, 1989Abstract Bony fusion is frequently required for anatomical reconstruction and stabilization of the spine. This review discusses bone structure, healing after fracture, and bony fusion, including the use of autografts and allografts. Research should be done on preparation of the bed, the nature and quantity of bone to be used, and how ...

This article details the development of the laparoscopic technique of interbody spinal fusion. The rationale for this procedure is discussed as are indications, contraindications, and operative technique. The results of over 100 laparoscopic lumbar fusions are presented along with their complications and surgical recommendations.

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1959
1. A relatively simple method of spinal fusion with internal splinting by screw fixation has been described. Complications have been few. 2. Emphasis is placed upon thorough removal of soft tissue, correct placement of screws of good length, the exposure of bleeding bone wherever possible in the fusion area, and the use of well packed cancellous bone.

Spinal Bone Density Following Spinal Fusion
Spine, 1989Spinal bone densities were assessed in 25 patients following lumbar fusion and bracing, in an attempt to study bone remodeling by noninvasive methods. Dual-photon densitometry was used to study specific areas of autologous bone grafts and adjacent vertebrae above the fusion mass.

Animal models for spinal fusion
The Spine Journal, 2005Animal models for spinal fusion are essential for preclinical testing of new fusion methods and adjuncts. They allow for control of individual variables and quantification of outcome measures. Model characteristics are considered. Preclinical experiments to evaluate proof of concept, feasibility, and efficacy are generally studied in an orderly ...
