| Abstract | Introduction A spinous process plate (SPP) is one option for stabilizing a lumbar motion segment to achieve fusion. It was hypothesized that the stabilizing potential of the SPP may differ with and without interbody support, and depending on the surface area covered by the interbody cage. The purpose of this study was to quantify lumbar stability after placement of a SPP in the setting of an intact disc, after lateral (trans-psoas) interbody fixation using the Sagittal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Technology (SLIFT) cage, and after transforaminal cage placement using the Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Technology (TLIFT) cage. Methods Nondestructive repeated-measures in vitro flexibility tests were performed to compare stability of seven human cadaveric L3-S1 specimens, with procedures performed at L4-L5. |
