Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and system for percutaneous fusion to correct disc compression is presented. The method has several steps, for instance, inserting a percutaneous lumbar interbody implant; positioning guide wires for each facet screw to be implanted; performing facet arthrodesis in preparation for the facet screws; fixating the plurality of facet screws; and optionally performing foramen nerve root or central decompression. The system includes an implant, an elongate cannulated insertion tool, and an elongate lockshaft positioned within the insertion tool.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A percutaneous fusion method to correct disc compression in a patient, comprising: making a posterolateral incision to access a desired spinal motion segment; determining a target level of a disc space between adjacent vertebral bodies for implantation of a spinal implant; locating a path to the disc space at the target level; inserting a guide wire to maintain the path to the target level, the guide wire extending to the disc space between the adjacen…
