Abstract
Vertebral stabilization techniques labelled “vertebropexy” can be used after microsurgical decompression (intact posterior structures) and midline decompression (removed posterior structures). Vertebropexy is a concept of semi-rigid spinal stabilization based on reinforcement of the spinal segment and is able to reduce motion, especially in flexion-extension.
