Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare posterior dynamic stabilization with fusion in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease.
Detailed description
Two strategies for treatment of degenerative lumbar instability are in frequent clinical use: fusion versus dynamic stabilization. Up to now it is not clear whether fusion (Gold-standard) or the non-fusion technique is superior. Nevertheless some data are available that dynamic stabilization as a less invasive technique can achieve similar or better results concerning patient satisfaction and re-OP rate compared with fusion as the standard therapy.
