From: Minimally invasive unilateral pedicle screws and a translaminar facet screw fixation and interbody fusion for treatment of single-segment lower lumbar vertebral disease: surgical technique and preliminary clinical results

Fig. 1

The preoperative MRI (a, b) showed a herniated disc. Accurate placement of the translaminar facet screw (c, d) was accomplished using the C arm intraoperatively. A small skin incision (e) was showed. Anteroposterior (f) and lateral (g) views after MIS TLIF showed good position of the hybrid internal fixation. CT scans (h–j) at 2 years after surgery demonstrated solid interbody fusion, and the translaminar facet screw entered through the base of spinous process on one side, fixed the contralateral facet joint after traversing the laminar, and ended at the base of the transverse process
