Study design: Retrospective cohort. Objective: To compare robotics and navigation for minimally invasive elective lumbar fusion in terms of radiation exposure and time demand. Summary of background data: Although various…
The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) constitutes the predominant pain source following lumbar or lumbosacral fusion. Although studies have investigated the biomechanical patterns of SIJ behaviours after lumbosacral fusion, the relationship between…
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence and risk factors of rod fractures (RF) after a single-level lumbar pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) using a side-tightening (ST)…
Objective: To reduce surgical exposure and improve accuracy, this study evaluated the anatomical distance parameter D (including D1, D2, and D3) of the lumbar isthmus for cortical bone screw insertion.…
This study aims to investigate the difference in physiological loading on the spine in three different motions (flexion-extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation) between osteoporotic and normal spines, using finite…
Background: Osteoporosis is a well-known risk factor of screw loosening. Classically, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan is an easy and cost-effective method of detecting bone mineral density (BMD). However, T-score…

Background: The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is affected in 14% to 22% in individuals presenting with chronic low back or buttock pain. This percentage is even higher in patients who underwent…
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of lumbar fusion and non-fusion surgery on the postoperative development of Modic changes (MCs). Methods: A total of 270…
