Abstract: OBJECTIVE To assess trabecular microarchitecture of spinous process as autograft and investigate its correlations with fusion success and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). METHODS Micro-CT reconstruction techniques were utilized to… read more here.
