摘要：

Over the last 10 years, the annual number of spinal procedures performed in the United States has more than doubled. In 1996, there were roughly 29,000 thoracic or dorsal fusion procedures, which made up almost 13% of all spine fusions performed. Scoliosis was the most common condition necessitating posterior thoracic fusion. The first half of this article focuses on the indications for thoracic and lumbar fusions; whereas, the second half of this article discusses the trends in use of thoracic and lumbar spine fusions.
