Background Instrumented lumbar arthrodesis has been established as the gold standard in
the care of patients with degenerative disc disease. However, spinal fusion results in the …

OBJECTIVE Fusion is the standard of treatment for degenerative lumbar symptomatic
instabilities. Dynamic stabilization is a potential alternative, with the aim of reducing …

Introduction: The development of adjacent-segment disease is a recognized consequence
of lumbar fusion surgery. Posterior dynamic stabilization, or motion preservation, techniques …

Following lumbar fusion, adjacent segment degeneration has been frequently reported.
Dynamic systems are believed to reduce main fusion drawbacks. We conducted a …

Study Design: A systematic medline review. Objective: An overview of pedicle-based
dynamic stabilization devices clinical outcomes. Summary of Background Data: Fusion is the …

Background Screw loosening, which is a major problem in dynamic systems, can be easily
overcome with 2-stage surgery. In this article, the clinical and radiological results of patients …

Postero-lateral fusion by means of rod-andscrews/hooks constructs is still the gold standard
in the treatment of lumbar degenerative spinal diseases. However, fusion remains fraught …

Study Design. Biomechanical in vitro human cadaveric lumbar flexibility testing with 6
sequential treatments. Objective. To compare the range of motion (ROM) of dynamic one …

Introduction Dynamic stabilization of the degenerated spine was invented to overcome the
negative side effects of fusion surgery like adjacent segment degeneration. Amongst various …

Purpose of review: This is a review of the recent literature involving dynamic posterior
stabilization in the lumbar spine. Recent findings: As an alternative to fusion, a mobile …
