A Randomized Prospective Evaluation of 3 Techniques of Postoperative Pain Management After Posterior Spinal Instrumentation and Fusion

Abstract

These data document that the double CEA most effectively controls postoperative pain after surgery for AIS. The single CEA trended toward having the fewest side effects when compared with the other techniques. On the basis these findings, we now routinely use the double CEA technique for all patients having surgery for AIS.
