Objective: The anterior column realignment (ACR) procedure, which consists of sectioning the anterior longitudinal ligament/annulus and placing a hyperlordotic interbody cage, has emerged as a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for…
Objective: Cage subsidence is a well-known phenomenon after lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), occurring in 10%-20% of cases. A 3D-printed porous titanium (pTi) cage has a stiffness that mimics the…
The use of anterior spinal surgery for the treatment of spinal pathology has experienced a dramatic increase over the past decade. Long relegated to treat complicated anterior pathologies it has…
Study design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: To compare the early radiographic adjacent segment degeneration (R-ASD) and regional lumbar sagittal alignment after midline lumbar interbody fusion (MIDLIF) with cortical bone trajectory…
Study design: An ambispective, observational study of the prospective, institutional adult spine deformity (ASD) database. Objectives: The study investigates the clinical and radiographic fusion rates with lateral interbody approach and…

Introduction: The aim of this study was to explore the association between sagittal spinopelvic alignment and persistent low back pain (PLBP) following posterior decompression and instrumented fusion for mild L5-S1…
Objective: The main objective is to explore the efficacy of oblique anterior lumbar fusion (OLIF) and transforaminal lumbar fusion (TLIF) in the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis central nerve injury. Methods:…
