Abstract
The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using the.Simmons Plating System as an adjunct to posterior lumbar fusion. The System may be used to address a wide variety of indications which require spinal arthrodesis, including degenerative disk disease, pseudarthrosis, fractures, and unsuccessful spinal fusions. The System provides superior stability for maximum fusion augmentation without limiting surgical flexibility.
