Abstract

Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation for lumbar posterolateral instrumented fusion is an attractive alternative to standard open techniques. The technical aspects of this procedure can be challenging and even frustrating when first learning the technique. However, once these techniques have been mastered, they offer a safe, less invasive, less traumatic, more aesthetic method for performing fusion. The authors have outlined a step-by-step method for performing this surgery, and include a case series that demonstrates excellent results in patients treated with this procedure.
