recommended if the index procedure included the lower lumbar spine. The
posterior iliac crest is palpated, and a full-thickness flap is created over the
dorsolumbar fascia. An assistant can use a Meyerding retractor on the flap as
the surgeon uses a Cobb elevator and electrocautery to approach the iliac
crest. A vertical incision is made along the middle of the iliac crest, and
electrocautery facilitates subperiosteal release of the fascia and gluteal
muscles laterally. If tricortical bone graft is needed, both the inner and outer
tables of the ilium are exposed. An oscillating saw then can be used to
harvest a tricortical graft. If only cancellous bone is needed, a cortical “cap”
of the ilium can be removed with an osteotome, and bone gouges can then be
used to scoop cancellous bone from between the inner and outer tables. It is
recommended that the outer table be exposed to a depth of 3 inches. A Taylor
retractor, which can retract the gluteus muscle as well as the entire superficial
tissue flap, is inserted. A 0.5-inch osteotome is then used to remove a
triangular piece of cortex from the external table. Large curets can then be
used to harvest the graft to the depth of the inner table. After sufficient bone
has been obtained, large pieces of thrombin-soaked cottonoid pledget can be
packed against the exposed bone surface to achieve hemostasis.
Alternatively, the posterior iliac bone graft can be obtained through a separate
lateral skin incision placed along the border of the posterior iliac crest within
6 to 8 cm from the midline. Remaining steps are similar to those described
previously. The complications associated with this technique are donor site
pain, injury to cluneal nerves, and injury to the sciatic nerve or superior
gluteal nerve or artery if dissection is too deep.
Anterior Iliac Bone Graft
The anterior iliac crest is a potential source of tricortical bone graft for
anterior cervical fusions, and bone marrow aspirate from this region is a rich
source of stem cells used for supplementing other bone graft material. An
incision is made along the border of the iliac crest 4 cm posterior to the ASIS
to avoid iatrogenic injury to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and avulsion
of the ASIS. To obtain tricortical graft, the periosteum is elevated along with
muscle attachments from inner and outer tables of the ilium. It is preferable to
use an oscillating saw over the osteotome to avoid microfracture of the graft,
and care should be taken to preserve the ASIS by ensuring that the graft
harvest is at least 2 cm proximal to the ASIS. After tricortical bone graft is

removed, more cancellous graft can be obtained, if needed, using a bone
gouge. After removal of the bone graft, the fascial edges should be
reapproximated with No. 1 synthetic absorbable sterile suture. to reduce the
risk of hernia. The complications associated with this technique are donor site
pain, meralgia paresthetica, avulsion fracture of the ASIS, hematoma
formation, pelvic instability, and infection.
Summary
Each surgical approach to the spine has advantages and limitations. The use
of minimally invasive approaches and muscle-sparing approaches is
increasing rapidly. Minimally invasive surgical approaches facilitate earlier
patient recovery and decrease the need for narcotics in the immediate
postoperative period; however, long-term benefits have yet to be proved.
Spine surgeons should monitor the literature for reports of complications
associated with newer procedures and be mindful of the learning curve
associated with incorporating new approaches and techniques into clinical
practice.
Key Study Points
The conventional anteromedial approach to the cervical spine is the
preferred standard approach to manage disorders of the anterior subaxial
spine (C3-C7).
The surgical steps used for the posterior midline approach are similar
when performing laminectomy or laminoplasty. Preservation of muscular
attachments at C2 and C7 are of paramount importance in laminoplasty.
The transpedicular approach is a circumferential approach to the thoracic
spine. It has been effectively used in the treatment of thoracic vertebral
body tumors and infection and may eliminate the need for aggressive
thoracotomy.
LLIF and OLIF are newer minimally invasive surgical approaches for
performing lumbar interbody fusion anteriorly. Knowledge of the involved
anatomy and careful evaluation of preoperative imaging studies are
essential to avoid complications.

Preserving the muscular attachments along the lateral facet joint is the key
to keeping the midline approach minimally invasive when performing
TLIF with a cortical bone trajectory.

taken to avoid injury to the T11 and T12 nerve roots during surgical closure. Proper

Spine Mechanics and
Pathomechanics
John A. Hipp, PhD
Abstract
In routine clinical practice, it is challenging to objectively determine
whether the load-bearing, motion-providing, and neurovascular protective
capabilities of the spine have been compromised. An understanding of spine
mechanics and pathomechanics can help identify functional abnormalities.
This knowledge also is important in understanding how available surgical
treatments for spine disorders alter the biomechanics of the spine, either as a
consequence of decompression or in the process of providing stability. It is
essential that clinicians be able to assess the biomechanical success of each
spine surgery and understand the biomechanics of the spine and how
implants can alter motion.

Introduction
Healthcare providers appreciate that the spine provides structural support for
the body and allows a wide range of movements while providing protection
of the neurovascular elements within and about the spine. Collectively, loadbearing, motion-providing, and neurovascular protective capabilities are
described as the biomechanical functions of the spine. In routine clinical
