Observations on the management of failed spinal operations



Download PDF

Abstract

A system is presented for the analysis of failure after spinal operations: 1) outright failure; 2) temporary relief; 3) failure in spondylolisthesis; and 4) infections. With this system it is possible to trace the causes of failure and to correct some of them. When they are used as a guide before operation, the recommendations made should help to prevent many failures.
