Kinematic Analysis of Posterolateral Fusion in the Lumbosacral Spine:

Kinematic Analysis of Posterolateral Fusion in the Lumbosacral Spine: FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY, UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, LUND, THE DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY, UNIVERSITY OF LUND, S-221 85 LUND, AND THE DEPART­ MENT OF ORTHOPAEDICS, ALLMANNA SJUKHUSET, S-21401 MALMO, SWEDEN.
