To prove that the use of additional S2alar-iliac screws for pure lumbar fusions due to degenerative lumbar disease provides superior outcome compared to the standard procedure of fusion to S1.
Patients with symptomatic degenerative spine disease with or without spinal stenosis undergoing lumbosacral fusion to S1. Pedicle screws for posterior Instrumentation and fusion of the lumbar spine plus intervertebral fusion L5/S1 (anterior lumbar inter body fusion (ALIF), transforaminal lumbar inter body fusion (TLIF), or posterior lumbar inter body fusion (PLIF)) with
Stratification of both groups by:
Prospective, randomized, controlled, rater-blinded multicentric interventional study with two parallel groups
