Resumen

Desde finales de 1992 nosotros hemos incorporado la fusión intersomática lumbar posterior con jaulas de Brantigan a nuestro armamentario quirúrgico. Presentamos los resultados iniciales en un grupo consecutivo de diez pacientes intervenidos con esta técnica y seguida su evolución por un periodo que oscila entre 6 y 30 meses. Los resultados clínicos han sido excelentes o buenos en 7 de los pacientes, consiguiéndose la fusión intersomática en el 100% de los casos.

Aunque la serie es corta, nuestras conclusiones iniciales son que se trata de una técnica ingeniosa y eficaz para conseguir una fusión intersomática por vía posterior intentando recuperar la altura que tenía el disco intervertebral sano.

Palabras clave:
Fusión lumbar intersomática posterior
Jaulas Brantigan
Summary

We are reporting our results in 10 consecutive patients operated of posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PUF) with Brantigan's cages since the latest months of 1992. The patients have been followed between 6 and 30 months. The clinical results have been excellent or good in 7 out of 10 patients and the percentage of fusion range 100%.

Although the series is small, we think the PLIF with Brantigan's cages is an ingenious and efficacious technique to obtain a good intervertebral fusion recovering at the same time the normal disc height.

Key words:
Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PUF)
Brantigan's cages
