Hybrid constructs

Orthop Clin North Am. 2005 Jul;36(3):379-88. doi: 10.1016/j.ocl.2005.03.002.

Abstract

Hybrid constructs can combine motion-preserving technologies with each other or motion-preserving technologies with fusion techniques. Hybrid constructs can be implanted in single-stage or multistage surgeries. Early results are promising. Further study under formal scientific conditions is necessary to explore the benefit of these combinations.
