Implants and techniques of lumbar non-fusion / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

In recent years, lumbar non-fusion as a novel technique of spinal surgery, can reserve the integrated function of intervertebral disc and zygapophysial joint, maintain or recover the segmental movement to a normal level, and have no adverse effect on the neighboring segments. It is possible for the lumbar non-fusion to substitute lumbar fusion, but its application requires a reasonable and perfect verification. The implants’ safety and biocompatibility with the host need further clinical researches for the satisfactory outcomes.
