Experience of using only transfacetal screws for cervical and lumbar spinal stabilization without decompression for degenerative spine disease

Screw insertion into the firm and largely cortical bones of facets of the lumbar spine can provide robust fixation and firm stabilization of the spinal segment. The large size of the facets provides an opportunity to insert screws at each spinal segment. The firm and cortical bone material and absence of any neural or vascular structure in the course of the screw traverse provide strength and safety to the process.

Abstract

Screw insertion into the firm and largely cortical bones of facets of the lumbar spine can provide robust fixation and firm stabilization of the spinal segment. The large size of the facets provides an opportunity to insert screws at each spinal segment. The firm and cortical bone material and absence of any neural or vascular structure in the course of the screw traverse provide strength and safety to the process.
