"Long-term outcome studies, including those performed right here at Midwest Spine Institute, have demonstrated the limitations of fusion including adverse stress to the adjacent levels and loss of function due to the loss of mobility.There is an increasing need to overcome the lmitations imposed by fusion yet a great deal of refinement is still required for motion preservation technology. I welcome the opportunities and challenges of this particular new technology."
