PLIF'S AND PLATES IN INSTABILITY OF THE LUMBAR SPINE
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1990, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Between may 1986 and may 1989 33 patients with several types of spondylolisthesis were operated on by reduction of the slip and restoring normal disc space height with homologeous interbody plugs and fixation with pedicular screws and VSP (steffee's) spine plates. Only one pseudo-arthrosis occurred in a patient with a 3 level slip. Results are good with short morbidity and easy postoperative management regimens.
