Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Spinal instrumentation has a long history, beginning with Hibbs [1] in 1911, who performed a posterior spine fusion for deformity. However, it wasn’t until 1962 [2], when Harrington began using distraction rods, that internal spinal instrumentation gained more widespread use. Luque further refined this technique by introducing segmental instrumentation in 1982. The modern era of lumbosacral spinal fixation was ushered in by the work of Roy-Camille et al. [3] with the use of universal instrumentation based on pedicle screw implants.
