Journal of Spinal Disorders & Techniques, 10/07/09
Kanayama M et al. – Prevalence of adjacent–segment disease and reoperation rate seemed to be lower in ligamentoplasty than fusion surgeries, but the difference was not significant. Ligamentoplasty circumvented adjacent–segment disease for longer period than fusion surgeries. Although the rates of additional surgeries in PLIF and PLF were comparable, PLIF developed adjacent–level instability and required fusion surgery more frequently than PLF.
