Posterolateral intertransverse lumbar arthrodesis in the New Zealand white rabbit model: The illustration of an alternative surgical approach

Introduction: The New Zealand White (NZW) rabbit model is commonly used for the research of posterolateral intertransverse lumbar arthrodesis. The standard approach reported by many researchers are a muscle splitting approach through the intermuscular plane between multifidus and longissimus musc...
