Radiologic and histopathologic examinations revealed that Sublaminar wires caused oedema and congestion in the peridural tissues and dura mater as traversing through peridural space, but this reaction was solved in a period of two months. No new bone formation occured on the inner surface of the laminae. Sublaminar wires were surrounded with nomal fatty fibrous peridural tissue in the end of the third month. Medulla spinalis was nomlal in the segments that sublaminar wiring was perfomed. Subperisteal stripping was not sufficient to produce fusion in the spine of rabbit even though it was combined with rigid segmental spinal fıxation.}, number={1}, publisher={Turkish Association of Orthopaedics and Traumatology}
