ABSTRACT:
A method of eliminating canine cauda equina syndrome is disclosed. The method includes the steps of dorsally separating the sacrum from L.sub.7, substantially aligning the caudal articular processes on L.sub.7 with their respective articular facets on S.sub.1 thereby relieving pressure on the nerves passing through the L.sub.7 S.sub.1 juncture. L.sub.7 is fixed relative S.sub.1 by fusing L.sub.7 to S.sub.1 by grafting bones, by anchoring L.sub.7 relative S.sub.1 by inserting a pin through the two vertebrae, or by providing a rearward limit of movement for L.sub.7. The methods of fixing may be used individually or in combination to eliminate the syndrome.
