Lordosis Restoration When Using The Prone Lateral Technique

Case Study on a Recent Surgery I Performed Demonstrating Lordosis Restoration When Using The Prone Lateral Technique.

My goals of this surgery were to:

Stabilize a Degenerative Scoliosis
Perform a indirect decompression of right sided Radiculopathy / Foraminal Stenosis
Improve regional alignment pre op LL 25 (PI 52 degrees)

I performed a 3 level prone lateral surgery L2-5 with posterior percutaneous pedicle screws. I planned to perform Smith-Peterson osteotomies at the instrumented levels. Thankfully, I did not need to since the prone lateral technique alone was sufficient in restoring lumbar lordosis to 50 degrees..

This reduced the amount of surgery my patient required and achieved all objectives in the most efficient way… I love this technique!

Dr. Ashish Patel, Orthopaedic spine surgeon, describes why he considers the SI joint in patients who consult with him about their chronic low back, pelvic, buttock and hip pain. If non-invasive treatment is no longer an option, he recommends treatment with minimally invasive SI joint fusion using the iFuse Implant System.
