Ceramic interspinous block (CISB) was used following anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) in 210 patients with lumbar disk lesions from 1988. A comparative study was performed assessing differences in outcome between the CISB group and non-CISB group. Although this method allowed patients early ambulation, there was no difference between the two groups in regard to changes in JOA score and radiographic outcome. CISB is useful for achieving good results following ALIF.
