54-year Follow-up of Lumbar Posterior Fusion With Tibial Graft.

摘要

To the Editor:We would like to briefly report on a recent follow-up of a lumbar posterior fusion procedure performed in 1954.A 69-year-old woman presented for evaluation of chronic neck, shoulder, and arm pain of moderate intensity. The pain was exacerbated by an incident approximately 3 months prior in which the patient was roughly bumped into a bus seat; she did not seek immediate treatment afterward. The patient reported treating her discomfort with vitamins and some marijuana use prior to her visit.
