Study design: Retrospective cohort study. Purpose: To compare clinical and radiographic outcomes among minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF), extreme lateral lumbar interbody fusion (XLIF), and oblique lateral lumbar…
Study design: Retrospective longitudinal study. Objective: To identify the preoperative factors associated with postoperative lumbar fusion recovery in back or leg pain, self-reported walking time and gait speed over a…
Objective: To compare location and amount of unremoved intervertebral disc between extreme lateral lumbar interbody fusion (XLIF) and oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF). Methods: Postoperative magnetic resonance images of…
Background/objectives: Minimally invasive lateral lumbar interbody fusion (MIS LLIF) has been employed to treat degenerative disc disease, with reduced complication profiles in comparison to other open anterior and posterior techniques.…
Objective: Intraoperative computed tomography and navigation (iCT-Nav) is increasingly used to aid spinal instrumentation. We aimed to document the accuracy and revision rate of pedicle screw placement across many screws…
Background and Objectives: Only limited qualitative research concerning instrumented spine surgeries has been published, despite the increasing number of these surgeries and the evident importance of qualitative analysis of the…
Study design: Retrospective study. Objectives: The combination of oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) with grade 2 posterior column osteotomy (PCO) is an effective treatment for adult spinal deformity. However, grade…
