Compartment syndrome of lumbar paraspinal musculature after percutaneous pedicle screw fixation

Pedicle Screw Fixation in Fracture of Thoraco-lumbar Spine

Mini-open or percutaneous bilateral lumbar transfacet pedicle screw fixation: a technical note.

STUDY DESIGN Case report. OBJECTIVE To describe the technique used to place bilateral lumbar transfacet pedicle screws. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Transfacet pedicle screw fixation is a growing alternative and biomechanically comparable with traditional pedicle screw fixation. There is no clear description of technique steps for placing transfacet pedicle screws available in the literature,...

Minimally Invasive Multilevel Percutaneous Pedicle Screw Fixation for Lumbar Spinal Disease

Objective: There are rare reports on the result of multilevel (≥ 3 levels) percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (PPF). The purpose of this study was to report the clinical experiences for multilevel PPF of the lumbar spine. Methods: A total of 17 patients of lumbar spinal disease (7 degenerative diseases, 6 infectious diseases, and 4 traumatic instabilities) underwent neural decompression and mu...

One-stage extreme lateral interbody fusion and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation in lumbar spine tuberculosis

OBJECTIVES We explored the efficacy of minimal invasive surgery including one-stage debridement and intervertebral fusion through extreme lateral channel (XLIF) combined with lateral or percutaneous posterior pedicle screw fixation for the treatment of lumbar spine tuberculosis. METHODS Twenty two patients with lumbar tuberculosis who underwent surgery with XLIF technique and internal fixatio...
