  • Title: Long-term results of intersomatic lumbar fusion with a posterior approach.
    Author: Zanasi R, Fioretta G, Romano P, Rotolo F, Zanasi L.
    Journal: Chir Organi Mov; 1990; 75(1):33-40. PubMed ID: 2142448.
    Abstract:
    The authors discuss the advantages of using intersomatic lumbar fusion with a posterior approach for the treatment of low back pain due to discopathy or grade I spondylolisthesis. After a description of the surgical method used, the long-term results obtained in 16 cases are presented. The clinical and radiographic results are good in cases of discopathy, while in those of spondylolisthesis there is disagreement between the clinical evaluation, which is generally satisfactory, and the radiographic evaluation which is not quite as satisfactory.
