A 10-Year Follow-up Evaluation of Lumbar Spine Fusion With Pedicle Screw Fixation

Abstract

At a minimum follow-up evaluation of 10 years, lumbar fusion with pedicle screw fixation showed relatively good functional capacity, especially relative to the baseline, a low rate of radiographic failure, satisfaction of patients with their progress, a low rate of repeat surgery, and minimal surgical and hardware-related complications.
