Background: To explore the biomechanical characteristics of 2 posterior bilateral pedicle screw fixation methods using finite element analysis. Methods: A normal L3-5 finite element model was established. Based on the…
Purpose: Physiologically, people age at different rates, which leads to a discrepancy between physiological and chronological age. Physiological age should be a priority when considering the indications for adult spinal…

Purpose: Pedicle screws placement is very common procedure in spinal surgery. Robotic assisted surgery has been widely used in this operation. We assessed the accuracy of thoracolumbar spine trans-pedicle screws…
Objective: Previous studies have neither explored the usage of cross-links nor investigated the optimal position of the cross-links in posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). This study evaluates biomechanical properties of…
Purpose: CSF leaks are a known complication of lumbar fusion surgery. There is a scarcity of literature describing the incidence and risk factors associated with this complication. The aim of…
Objective: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) and lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) are common techniques that typically require staged procedures when performed in combination. Interest is emerging in single-position surgery…
Objective: The American College of Surgeons (ACS) updated its guidelines on overlapping surgery in 2016. The objective was to examine differences in postoperative outcomes following overlapping cases either pre-ACS guideline…
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of teriparatide versus zoledronate on spinal fusion in osteoporotic patients following posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). Methods: Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis undergoing PLIF for degenerative…
