Abstract

Spinal arthrodesis is currently the most widely used surgical means of stabilizing the deformed and mechanically insufficient spine. It may be accompanied by direct or indirect decompression and/or realignment by positioning, mechanical, or destabilization methods. Very often, arthrodesis is supplemented by internal fixation that may be utilized in the realignment as well as the immobilization of the spine.
