Rod persuading reduces primary construct stability in lumbar interbody fusion in the osteoporotic spine – A biomechanical in-vitro study
The use of the rod persuader reduces the pedicle screw pullout strength, thereby compromising the construct stability. This reduction is particularly significant in osteoporotic vertebral bodies, highlighting the need for careful consideration of rod persuader use in this patient population.
