The KG[R]1 is a disposable device and will positively impact the outcome of patients needing a lumbar
spinal fusion due to degenerative disc diseases, arthritis in the back and back injuries.
We conducted a retrospective review of consecutive patients who had undergone primary
spinal fusion or
spinal fusion revision for neuromuscular scoliosis from January 2006 to December 2007.
Among the reported risk factors for ASD following
spinal fusion, age, preexisting segment degeneration, and sagittal imbalance have been included [5, 6, 8].
Anterior
spinal fusion (ASF) with iliac crest autograft at the L2-3 disc space was then performed (Figure 3).
Several distinct approaches have been developed to achieve adequate
spinal fusion. TLIF is commonly performed to obtain a 360-degree spinal arthrodesis through a posterioronly approach in conditions such as degenerative disk disease, degenerative scoliosis, pseudarthrosis, recurrent disk herniation, and spondylolisthesis.
To date, a great body of research on MSCs for
spinal fusion procedures was performed in vitro and in vivo but a clinical customary procedure for the use of cell-based strategies for
spinal fusion surgery has not been established and contrasting clinical but also preclinical results were reported in literature.
There is a broad spectrum of available treatment options for patients suffering from chronic low back pain in the setting of degenerative disorders of the lumbar spine, including both conservative and operative approaches7.The purpose of the study was to analyze the functional outcome of patients of back pain who underwent
spinal fusion by TLIF after one year of surgery.
Comparison of bone grafts for posterior
spinal fusion in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Researchers found that these surgeries are generally safe, with mortality rates decreasing from 2000 to 2009 for total hip and total knee replacement, and also for
spinal fusion surgery, and complication rates decreasing for total knee replacement and
spinal fusion in patients with few comorbidities (other conditions or diseases).
Editors Sharan (orthopedic surgery, Albert Einstein College of Medicine), Tang (biomedical engineering, Washington U.), and Vaccaro (spinal surgery, Rothman Institute) have compiled information on the genesis and treatment of spinal disorders, with an emphasis on avoiding
spinal fusion when possible and preserving motion.
All five have advanced spinal surgery technique experience, including spinal cord and nerve decompression,
spinal fusion, microsurgery and minimally invasive surgery of the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine, as well as artificial disc replacement.

spinal fusion surgery in the lower back.
