AbstractParaspinal (erector spinae and multifidus) and psoas muscles contribute to spinal stability, but no study has yet examined the relationship between muscle mass and recurrent lumbar disc herniation (rLDH). The…
Background: Many studies have been conducted to compare traditional trajectory (TT) and cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screws; however, how screw parameters affect the biomechanical properties of TT and CBT screws,…
Background: Long constructs have always been widely recommended for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures, due to their biomechanical stability and minimal postoperative loss of correction. However, short constructs have significant…
Background: Anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT) for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is postulated to preserve motion compared with traditional posterior spinal fusion (PSF), but few studies exist to date. We…
Purpose: The complex and dynamic spinopelvic interplay is not well understood. The aims of the present study were to investigate the following: (1) whether native acetabular anteinclination (AI) in standing…
Background: A series of full-endoscopic lumbar interbody fusions have been reported, but special fusion cages or operating instruments are often needed, and there are many complications in the operation and…
Objective: Although full-endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion (Endo-LIF) has been tried as the latest alternative technique to minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interobody fusion (MIS-TLIF) since mid-2010, the evidence is still lacking.…

Study design: A retrospective cohort study was performed for patients undergoing 1-2-level lumbar fusion (1-2LF) from 2005 to 2014 using an administrative claims database. Objective: The objective of this study…
Study design: The study of retrospective cohort. Objective: The aim was to compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), satisfaction, and minimum clinically important difference (MCID) achievement following minimally invasive lumbar decompression…
