摘要：
A method and system for percutaneous fusion to correct disc compression is presented. The method has several steps, for instance, inserting a percutaneous lumbar interbody implant； positioning guide wires for each facet screw to be implanted； performing facet arthrodesis in preparation for the facet screws； fixating the plurality of facet screws； and optionally performing foramen nerve root or central decompression. The system includes an implant, an elongate cannulated insertion tool, and an elongate lockshaft positioned within the insertion tool.
