Abstract
This retrospective study evaluated the perioperative morbidity of patients undergoing lumbar, sacral, or lumbosacral fusion using either pedicle or translaminar facet screw fixation following interbody fusion. Hospital charts of all patients who presented to a single tertiary care institution during a 4-year period were reviewed. Findings indicated translaminar facet screw fixation was a less invasive spinal fixation method with decreased perioperative morbidity compared to pedicle screw fixation.
