    This study introduces a novel posterior lumbo-sacral fusion technique using springs for graft fixation and immobilization. The method shows promising clinical outcomes with rapid recovery for patients with lumbar disc degeneration or spondylolisthesis.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Spinal Fusion Techniques
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis are common causes of low back pain.
    • Traditional spinal fusion methods can involve prolonged recovery periods.
    • Need for innovative fixation methods to improve surgical outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate a new posterior lumbo-sacral fusion method.
    • To assess the efficacy of spring-based graft fixation in spinal fusion.
    • To determine clinical outcomes and recovery times in patients undergoing this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Posterior lumbo-sacral fusion utilizing spring-based graft fixation and immobilization.
    • Clinical review of 50 patients with lumbar disc degeneration or spondylolisthesis.

    • Main Results:

    • Shortened hospital stays observed in the patient cohort.
    • Rapid return to work reported by a significant proportion of patients.
    • High percentage of favorable clinical outcomes achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • Spring-assisted posterior lumbo-sacral fusion is an effective surgical option.
    • The technique facilitates quicker patient recovery and return to daily activities.
    • This method offers a promising alternative for treating lumbar degenerative conditions.
