Abstract
A technique to reconstruct the posterior elements of the spinal canal in osteoplastic laminotomy is described. The use of titanium microplates allows a stable fixation of the laminar arch with optimal realignment of the lamina cut ends. The titanium implants are fully compatible with magnetic resonance imaging. The author's experience with thirty patients is reported. The method proved to be simple and effective with distinct advantages over conventional techniques.Entities:
