Background: Lumbar decompression can result in postsurgical instability and spondylolisthesis in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). While pedicle screw (PS) constructs improve stability and support fusion, their use can…
Background: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) has been performed for many years. Often, posterior supplemental fixation has been used to provide additional stability to the operated segment. Interbody implants have…
Purpose: Lumbar fusion is widely used to treat degenerative and traumatic conditions of the spine, with various perioperative complications. This study compared lumbar fusion complications in patients with and without…
Introduction: Cage impactions (CI) of Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (OLIF) appear to be a frequent mechanical complication with a potential functional impact. Objectives: To determine the rate of CI occurrence,…
Objective: Our study compares patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and minimum clinically important difference (MCID) achievement following anterior or transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF or TLIF) for isthmic spondylolisthesis in patients…
Osteosarcopenia is a common condition among elderly and postmenopausal female patients. Site-specific bone mineral density is more predictive of bone-related complications. Few studies have investigated muscle-bone associations. Our results demonstrated…
