Eighty consecutive cases of suprafascial pedicle screw stabilization were r
eviewed. Intraoperative fluoroscopy aided the percutaneous screw placement
after structural anterior interbody graft(s) were placed. During routine ou
tpatient hardware removal, all intradiscal fusions were stressed via the Sh
anz screws under fluoroscopy. Anterior reconstruction via a mini open appro
ach coupled with this minimally invasive posterior approach led to a 96% su
ccessful fusion rate.
