Background: The motion preserving benefits of lumbar total disc replacement (LTDR) are well established. There is a paucity of long-term follow-up data on the M6-L prosthesis. The aim was to…
Background: Lumbar fusion (LF) is commonly performed to manage lumbar degenerative disc disease (LDDD) that has failed conservative measures. However, lumbar disc replacement (LDR) procedures are increasingly prevalent and designed…
Background: Compare fusion at two independent timepoints (early and late) between 3D-printed titanium (Ti) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages in patients undergoing standalone lateral lumbar interbody fusion (SA-LLIF). We hypothesized that…
Background: Minimally invasive or open surgery is contentious in the treatment of spondylodiscitis, therefore finding a balance between the two is urgently needed. In this study, we propose a new…
Background: Persistent opioid utilization after spine surgery is a rising complication among both preoperatively opioid-naïve and opioid-tolerant patients. To our knowledge, this is the first meta-analysis to determine the prevalence…
Background: There has been increased development of robotic technologies for the accuracy of percutaneous pedicle screw placement. However, it remains unclear whether the robot really optimize the selection of screw…
Objective: To summarize and compare the endplate injury occurrence characteristics and clinical results of transforaminal intervertebral fusion combined with pedicle screw fixation through intermuscular approach and oblique lateral intervertebral fusion…
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of oblique lumbar interbody fusion combined with unilateral pedicle screw fixation via Wiltse approach in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods: From July 2017…
Background: The authors report an extremely rare presentation of a patient with an intraforaminal cervical gas cyst with radiculopathy. The patient's condition was refractory to conservative treatment, and he was…
Objective: Nowadays, with the increasing proportion of osteoporosis in patients with lumbar degenerative diseases, doctors are facing the choice of intraoperative internal fixation methods. The purpose of this study was…
