Augmentation of intertransverse process lumbar fusion.
Spinal fusion surgery for alleviation of intractable lower back pain in humans is currently a primary therapeutic technique, with failure rates averaging between 5 to 35%. Implanted and external source-based electrical stimulation devices have been investigated in an attempt to increase osteogenesis at the fusion site in an attempt to reduce spinal fusion failure rates. The purpose of our study...
متن کاملThe effect of aging on posterior intertransverse lumbar fusion: a New Zealand white rabbit model.
STUDY DESIGN In vivo assessment of lumbar spinal fusion between a younger and older cohort of New Zealand white rabbits. OBJECTIVE Directly compare fusion within young and aged New Zealand white rabbits to establish an aged spinal fusion model translational research. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Prior studies have utilized skeletally mature young rabbits (6-12 mo old) that may not be appropri...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal collagen gene expression in lumbar intertransverse fusion in the rabbit.
We have examined the process of fusion of the intertransverse processes and bone graft in the rabbit by in situ hybridisation and evaluated the spatial and temporal expression of genes encoding pro-alpha1 (I) collagen (COL1A1), pro-alpha1 (II) collagen (COL2A1) and pro-alphal (X) collagen (COL10A1). Beginning at two weeks after operation, osteogenesis and chondrogenesis occurred around the tran...
متن کاملPosterior lumbar interbody fusion versus intertransverse fusion in the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis.
PURPOSE To compare 2 methods of fusion in the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis: posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and intertransverse fusion (ITF). METHODS 20 patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis were randomly allocated to one of 2 groups: decompression, posterior instrumentation, and PLIF (n=10) or decompression, posterior instrumentation, and ITF (n=10). The Oswestry low back ...
متن کاملPostoperative lumbar spinal stenosis after intertransverse fusion with granules of hydroxyapatite: a case report
UNLABELLED In the present case of postoperative lumbar spinal stenosis after non-instrumented intertransverse fusion with granules of hydroxyapatite (HA), bone union was not completed and the patient felt the recurrence of his symptoms within two years. We performed re-decompression with fusion, and in hematoxylin and eosin staining of HA granulation harvested during revision surgery, fibrous t...
