“…For fusion, good outcomes are reported in 49-88% of the cases (Fritzell et al, 2003;Hanley and David, 1999;Madan et al, 2003 1999). For implantation of an artificial intervertebral device, good outcomes are reported in 50-99% of the cases (Guyer and Ohnmeiss, 2003;Jin et al, 2003;Kleuver et al, 2003).…”

“…However, in procedures without accompanying PSF, single-segment ALIF for intervertebral fusion may lead to spinal instability [19] . Therefore, posterior PSF (including translaminar facet screw fixation) [20,21] is usually performed in conjunction with ALIF to improve the interbody fusion rate.…”

Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) followed by posterior pedicle screw fixation (PSF) in a second procedure is mostly used to implement lumbar spine fusion. ALIF followed by anterior lumbar screw-plate has a lot of advantages, but its biomechanical stability requires confirmation. This study evaluated the biomechanical stability of a novel anterior lumbar locked screw-plate (ALLSP) by comparison with posterior lumbar PSF. Twelve fresh human cadaveric lumbar specimens (L4-L5) were assigned to four groups: ALIF+PSF group, ALIF+ALLSP (both fixed) group, ALIF group and an untreated control (both non-fixed) group. The first three groups received implantation of a rectangular titanium cage. Tests under axial compression, flexion, extension, lateral bending, or rotation showed that the fixed groups had significantly stronger stability than the non-fixed groups (P=0.000 for all). The ALIF+ALLSP group had significantly greater axial stiffness under applied axial compression and significantly less angular displacement under rotational forces than the ALIF+PSF group. The angular displacement of the ALIF+ALLSP group was less under flexion than that of the ALIF+PSF, and the angular displacement under lateral bending and extension was greater, but these differences were not statistically significant. In summary, the ALLSP conforms to the anterior lumbar spine and has good biomechanical stability. It is a reliable choice for enhancing the stability of ALIF.
