It was reported that on: (b)(6) 2008: the patient was presented with laminectomy syndrome, spondylolisthesis at l3-4, severe l5-s1 stenosis, prior history of l4-5 laminectomy, right-sided radiculopathy.So he underwent bilateral lumbar laminectomy at l5 s1 with decompression of the exiting and traversing nerve roots.Re-do bilateral laminectomy at l4-5.Far lateral transpedicular decompression on the right at l3-4 of decompression of exiting nerve root.Anterior posterior spinal fusion from l3 through s1 with peek interbody cages, pedicle screw and rod instrumentation at 3 interspaces l3 through s1.Case done endoscopically under biplane fluoroscopy.As per op-notes ".A s1 fusion was done.Preparing the endplates for fusion a peek cage with bmp sponge was impacted across the midline and the remaining disk space was filled with dbm.A peek cage with bmp sponge was impacted across the 4-5 disk space and remaining disk space filled with dmb.The remaining facet joint was drilled out.Peek cage with bmp sponge was impacted across the midline.Additionally dmb was used to fill the disc space." on (b)(6) 2014: the patient was presented with spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease so he underwent laminectomy at l2 and l3, posterolateral fusion l2-3 with onlay bone graft, autograft for spinal surgery morselized via the same incision.As per op notes ".The bones graft was morselized from the same incision.Decortication was performed at l2 and l3 and the bone graft was placed in an onlay fashion at l2-3 bilaterally to perform the posterolateral fusion at l2 3 with bone graft via the same incision." on an unknown date post-op patient alleged unspecified injuries due to use of rhbmp-2/acs.
