Minimally Invasive Lumbar Transfacet Screw Fixation in the Lateral Decubitus Position After Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion

Abstract

Minimally invasive percutaneous transfacet screw fixation can be performed safely and effectively in the lateral decubitus position. This is an attractive option for posterior percutaneous fixation that can lead to a reduction of operative time and surgical morbidity in select cases.
