For the new procedure, iliac plates designed to support lumbopelvic instrumentation were used to treat four patients with spinopelvic instability through a lateral procedure. All patients benefitted from the stabilization and the visual analog scale decreased from 7.75 preoperatively to 1.75 postoperatively.
The Oswestry disability index scores decreased from 83.5 to 24.5 during the 12 months after the operation.
