Lumbar Spine Injuries with Multilevel Anterior and Posterior Fusion Surgery - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This exhibit begins with one sagittal (side cut-away) view of the lumbar spine illustrating the pre-operative condition. This image reveals the degenerative disc disease from L2-3 down to L5-S1, but skipping L4-5. Also, four steps of the multilevel anterior and posterior fusion surgery are shown. These steps include the initial incision, the discectomies, anterior placement of cages and posterior placement of a cage.
