Abstract

The radiographic fusion rates, graft behaviour and clinical outcome of 41 patient with simultaneous combined anterior lumbar interbody fusion and posterior arthrodesis with translaminar screws were reviewed independently. In all patients a femoral cortical allograft (FCA) ring filled with autologous iliac crest cancellous bone was used anteriorly to replace the disc and achieve interbody fusion. The follow-up averaged 30.6 months, with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. All patients had disabling low-back pain with different degrees of radiating leg pain and either discogenic pain (n = 24) or a postdiscectomy syndrome (n = 15) respectively postfusion syndrome (n = 2). The overall fusion rate was 95.2% (59 of 62 segments). Time to radiographic fusion averaged 8.7 months (range 2-34 months), and in 66.1% radiographic fusion occurred without significant subsidence. In 18.6% fusion with subsidence resulted from resorption of the FCA and in 15.3% the FCA had protruded into the vertebral body. The posterior intervertebral disc height (PIVDH) increased postoperatively by 2 mm on average. However, loss of PIVDH was the rule, and occurred within the first 12 postoperative months, resulting in a negligible final gain in height of 0.3 mm o...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
