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 ...

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 ...

Surgical fusion of the spine dates back to 1911, when the procedure was described by Albee [1], who provided mechanical support to vertebrae involved with tuberculosis, and by Hibbs [2], who treated the progression of scoliosis by spinal fusion. Since this time several techniques of fusion have been described and advocated with and without the use of ...

Spinal fusion surgery has the potential to alleviate pain, improve functional ability, and maximize overall quality of life. Recognizing not only the importance to preserve as much normal human anatomy and physiology as possible but also to take into account the overwhelming economic, social, and psychological burden that open surgery may place on both

Complications of Spinal Fusions
1990Spinal fusion has associated complications that are similar to those resulting from any other surgical intervention. Thus, whenever a fusion is recommended as part of the care program for a patient these factors must be included in the equation. Are the positive anticipated responses of the procedure sufficient to justify subjecting the patient to the ...

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 ...

The Biology of Spinal Fusion [PDF]
, 1990 This chapter is devoted to the discussion of the biology and biological principles of spinal fusion. Successful fusion is a critical element in the successful treatment in a large percentage of patients undergoing spinal surgery.1–7 Failed spinal fusions result in significant morbidity of spinal surgery patients.
