A technique of bilateral posterolateral fusion of the lumbosacral spine combined with a classic Hibbs spine fusion is described, as performed on 150 patients. This method provided a high incidence (95 per cent) of successful fusion with low morbidity, and good or fair results in 90 per cent of patients.
