Instrumented Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Using a Novel Synthetic Bone Graft, Ossdsign Catalyst® With 24-Month Post-Surgical Follow Up

Type: article
Abstract: Spine fusion procedures aim to facilitate the development of bridging bone between the vertebral bodies to be fused. If solid fusion is achieved, the result provides long-term stability beyond the life of any stabilizing metalwork implanted at the time of surgery. Spine fusion eliminates the motion of the vertebral bodies involved, maintains the distance between vertebral bodies, and decompresses spinal nerves, thereby relieving pain. To achieve fusion a bone graft is placed between the vertebral bodies, often within an interbody cage and/ or across the transverse processes [2].
