Background: Endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion has become an emerging technique. Some researchers have reported the technique of percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. We propose percutaneous endoscopic posterior lumbar interbody…
Study design: This was a retrospective cohort study. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine if the degree of interbody cage lordosis and cage positioning are associated with…
Study design: Prospective review. Objective: The aim was to assess the efficacy and safety of short-segment pedicle fixation of low lumbar fractures (L3-L5). Background: Low lumbar fractures are relatively uncommon,…

Background: Three-dimensional (3D) imaging represents a novel way to assess surgical derotation maneuvers in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Objective: To assess the following in patients with AIS undergoing derotation surgery…
Background: Transforaminal endoscopic approaches through Kambin's triangle traditionally require surgery to be performed without general anesthesia to allow live patient feedback. No reliable intraoperative neuromonitoring method specific to the dorsal…
Background: The kickstand rod has been described for the treatment of severe coronal imbalance. We present a modified description that combines an asymmetric pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) for correction of…
Study design: This was a retrospective cohort study. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare radiographic and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) between circumferential fusions and transforaminal lumbar interbody…
Background and objective: Intraoperative hypotension is a common complication in general anesthesia that could result in different serious complications particularly in elderly patients. This Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) aims to…
Context: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is a common procedure for patients suffering degenerative, deformity, or posttraumatic pathologies of the lumbar spine. Aims: The aim of this study is to…
