(a) Sagittal MRI of a patient with severe multilevel spondylosis and stenosis. (b-c) Anteroposterior (b) and lateral (c) radiographs of same patient after multilevel laminectomy and fusion. Note that distal fixation was achieved with pedicle screws which have increased pullout resistance compared with lateral mass fixation.
