PERCUTANEOUS POSTERIOR FIXATION FOR DEGENERATIVE SPINE PROBLEMS
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2014, Vol 25, Issue 2
Abstract
Minimally invasive approaches to degenerative spine conditions have begun to be used more frequently in the last ten years, in order to minimize the disadvantages related to the traditional approach. There are a couple of advantages to using minimally invasive approaches as opposed to traditional open approaches. The incisions are small and require minimal muscle dissection and retraction. Surgical procedures, including instrumentation, can easily be performed through a tubular retractor. In this review, we discuss technical tips for percutaneous posterior fixation for degenerative spinal conditions, and recommended methods to lower the risk of complication.
