Abstract
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.
