Schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon for 2 weeks after surgery. Recovery time to daily activities is usually 6 to 12 weeks. X-rays may be taken after several weeks to verify that fusion is occurring. The surgeon will decide when to release you back to work at your follow-up...
Anterior laparoscopic interbody stabilization and fusion at L4-5 or L5-S1 was performed in 22 patients. The mean operative time was 4 hours, 17 minutes... PC Mcafee,JR Regan,T Zdeblick,... - 《Spine》 被引量: 558发表: 1995年 Laparoscopic fusion of the lumbar spine: minimally invasive ...
Thus the present invention provides for the unmet need for an improved implant for performing spinal surgical procedures (e.g., spinal fusion and/or fixations) that can securely fix the L5 vertebrae to the S1 sacrum within the disc space for patients exhibiting a wide range of anatomies....
Background/aims: To assess the revision rate at L5-S1 when only posterior fixation with pedicle screws is done with multi-level spinal fixation.Patients and Methods: The Retrospective quasi experimental study was conducted at the Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpinidi and comprised data from 2009 ...
Amultilevel spinal fusioninvolves fusing two or more levels of the spine, such as theL4-L5andL5-S1 spinal segments. Multilevel fusions considerably limit the normal motion in the lower back and place more stress across the remaining mobile joints. ...
For the L5/S1 segment, the interlaminar approach involved selecting a puncture point 1 cm lateral to the posterior midline of the affected side at the surgical segment. The puncture needle was inserted into the surface of the intervertebral ligament, and sequential dilation was performed along the...
This most commonly occurs at the lumbosacral junction with L5 slipping over S1, but it can occur at higher levels as well. It is classified based on etiology into 5 types: dysplastic, defect in pars inter-articularis, degenerative, traumatic, and pathologic. The most common grading system for...

Central stenosis arises from anterior ligamentum flavum hypertrophy compounded by posterior disk bulging. This condition is more prevalent at the L4 to L5 level than other spinal segments. Meanwhile, lateral recess stenosis results from facet arthropathy and osteophyte formation, compressing the nerve befo...
In my case, a right L5-S1 facet compression injury, I used a Medrol Dose Pack to reduce inflammation, hot packs, massage and while I was backing into a parking space, I twisted to the right with my right arm around the back of the car seat and kept my torso straight at which point...
