ALICI SPINAL INSTRUMENTATION FOR DEGENERATIVE DISEASE OF THE LUMBOSACRAL REGION
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1990, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Degeneration of the intervertebral disc, complex begins early in life and is a variety of environmental factors as well as normal aging. With aging, there is a progressive increase in vertebral end-plate concavity, associated with decreased bone density. These changes are more evident and take place earlier in females that in males, on the orther hand, spondylarthrosis take place in addition to these disc changes. In our clinic, we have operated on 19 patients, who suffered from these diseases. Many of the disk patients are asymptomatic after surgery. Vertebral body fusion has been done in practically every case of ruptured lumbar disc. Posterior lumbar inlerbody fusion (PLIF) is accepted by many authors as the surgical treatment for hcrniated discs, degenerative disc conditions. Recently many new spinal implants systems have been introduced. This paper presents experience with the use of a new posterior stabilization device (ALICI posterior spinal instrument).
