Bone Marrow Clot for Posterior Lumbar Fusion

vBMA will be harvested from each patient vertebral pedicle with the preparation of the site for pedicle screw insertion during spinal surgery. After the positioning of pedicle screws, the decompression of the cauda and nerve roots will be achieved with a hemilaminectomy and foraminotomy. vBMA clot will be opposed on the hemi-laminae and transvers process on the contralateral side of the hemilaminectomy. On the hemilaminectomy side, foramino-arthrectomy will be performed to insert the interbody fusion cage if necessary. After aspiration, the vBMA will be clotted and used for surgical procedure. vBMA clot will be applied on each side of the vertebra according to the number of segments to be fused.
