Abstract

In the last decades, pedicle screws or facet screws have been the most used instruments for vertebral fusion. However, both of them present intraoperative risks and require intraoperative fluoroscopy. Herein we present this new arthrodesis system, formed by two different components (Interspinous/ Interlaminar and facet joint fixation: Ischia and Filicudi?) which ensure maximal stability and promote biological fusion permitting a bone-to-bone contact. A 77-year-old lady suffered bilateral (right > left) neurogenic claudication and walking distance
