Summary
The SOCON posterior device and PROSPACE interbody fusion system effectively treat lumbar spondylolisthesis. PROSPACE serves as a reliable interbody support and fusion element for spinal stability.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Spinal Fusion Techniques
Background:
- Lumbar interbody fusion aims to enhance spinal stability.
- A variety of interbody implants using osteoconductive materials are available.
- This study evaluates the SOCON posterior device with the PROSPACE PLIF system.
Observation:
- A single case of L5/S1 spondylolisthesis was analyzed.
- The operative technique and patient outcome were documented.
- The combination of SOCON and PROSPACE was utilized.
Findings:
- The PROSPACE PLIF interbody fusion system demonstrated efficacy.
- PROSPACE functions effectively as both an interbody support and a fusion element.
- The combined approach contributed to local spinal stability.
Implications:
- The PROSPACE system shows promise for treating lumbar spondylolisthesis.
- This case report highlights a viable surgical option for spinal fusion.
- Further research may explore broader applications of this combined device system.
