I interviewed there 5 years ago for fellowship and this was my impression as well.
 
Percutaneous Pedicle Screw Insertion ...WTF!!!!??????

I assume the OP meant Trufuse or a bone dowel insertion at the facet joints for facet arthropathy (NOTHING beyond a Grade 1 spondylolisthesis)....pedicle screws is getting into quack country...unless someone wants to educate me

Mostl likely DePuy Perpos perc. lumbar fusion system. I can't fathom even thinking of doing this due to potential liability issues and lack of appropriate candidates.
