    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE AUTHORS RETROSPECTIVELY REVIEWED 30 CASES IN WHICH POSTERIOR FUSION WAS SUPPORTED BY PEEK RODS, ANALYZING EARLY COMPLICATIONS, RATE OF FUSION AND CLINICAL OUTCOME. AT AN AVERAGE FOLLOW-UP OF 18 MONTHS, BOTH CLINICAL AND RADIOGRAPHIC RESULTS WERE SATISFACTORY WITH ONLY ONE CASE REQUIRING SURGICAL REVISION FOR A MECHANICAL COMPLICATION. FROM (B)(6) 2008 TO (B)(6) 2010, 30 PATIENTS WITH DEGENERATIVE LUMBAR SPINE DISEASE WERE OPERATED. THERE WERE 13 MALES AND 17 FEMALES WITH AN AVERAGE AGE OF (B)(6). INTERBODY FUSION WITH PEEK CAGES WAS PERFORMED IN 22 CASES (1 DOUBLE LEVEL). EIGHT PATIENTS RECEIVED POSTEROLATERAL AUTOGENOUS GRAFTING ONLY. ONLY AUTOGENOUS BONE GRAFT BY ILIAC CREST AND POSTERIOR VERTEBRAL ARCH, HARVESTED FROM INSIDE THE OPERATORY FIELD, WAS USED. FUSION WAS ACHIEVED IN A REASONABLE TIME IN ALL PATIENTS WITH INTERBODY CAGES, AND THIS WAS THE MAIN TARGET OF THE NEW LOAD SHARING FEATURE AND IN 90% OF THE PATIENT WHO UNDERWENT POSTEROLATERAL FUSION. THERE WAS ONE EARLY COMPLICATION OF SUPERFICIAL WOUND DEHISCENCE THAT WAS CURED BY LOCAL DRESSING.
