Background: Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) secondary to split cord malformation (SCM) is rare in adulthood. There is as yet no consensus about the optimal treatment method for adult patients with…
Introduction: With increasing relevance of the postoperative spinopelvic alignment, achieving optimal restoration of segmental lordosis (SL) during transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) has become increasingly important. However, despite the easier…
Introduction: Surgical management of isthmic spondylolisthesis is controversial and reports on anterior approaches in the literature are scarce. Research question: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of stand-alone anterior lumbar…
