High lumbar noninstrumented fusion rates using lamina autograft and Nanoss/bone marrow aspirate.

CONCLUSIONS: Fifty-nine patients with multilevel lumbar stenosis/OYL and other pathology underwent multilevel lumbar laminectomies/noninstrumented fusions using lamina autograft and Nanoss/BMA. Both dynamic X-ray/CT studies confirmed a 97% fusion rate an average of 4.9 months postoperatively. Nanoss/BMA contributed to a high posterolateral lumbar non instrumented fusion rate without complciations. PMID: 28808602 [PubMed]
