  • Title: Lumbo-sacral fusion with spring fixation.
    Author: Attenborough CG, Reynolds MT.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1975 Aug; 57(3):283-8. PubMed ID: 1158939.
    Abstract:
    A method of posterior lumbo-sacral fusion is described in which springs are used to fix the grafts and to maintain immobilisation. Fifty patients with lumbar disc degeneration or spondylolisthesis have been reviewed. The results have been assessed clinically by grading the symptoms before and after operation. Stay in hospital has been short and return to work rapid. There has been a high proportion of good results.
