Bilateral FacetFuse® TFPS demonstrated superior immediate stability than unilateral PSR and was an equivalent substitute to bilateral PSR constructs at the L5-S1 native disc level

These results suggest that fixation at L4–L5 with TFPS is a promising alternative to PSR, with or without TLIF. A TLIF device was less stable than the native disc with both methods of instrumentation presumably because of a fulcrum effect from a relatively small footplate. Additional interbody support may be considered for improved biomechanics with TLIF

This study evaluated percutaneous Buck’s fixation using FacetFuse screws in 13 patients with L5 pars fractures. Patients experienced significant pain reduction, with 92.3% nearly asymptomatic at two years. Complete fracture healing was observed, with no reported complications, supporting this minimally invasive approach for pars fracture repair.
