Background context: Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) has been proven to be effective in treating lumbar degenerative disorders (LDDs) via indirect decompression. However, its superiority over transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion…
Background context: Modernization of 3D printing has allowed for the production of porous titanium interbody cages (3D-pTi) which purportedly optimize implant characteristics and increase osseointegration; however, this remains largely unstudied…
Objective: To determine influence of preoperative Short Form 12 (SF-12) Mental Composite Score (MCS) on minimally important clinical difference (MCID) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) among isthmic spondylolisthesis patients receiving…
Background context: Adjacent segment disease (ASD) is a potential complication following lumbar spinal fusion. Purpose: This study aimed to demonstrate the demographic, clinical, and operative risk factors associated with ASD…
Background context: Lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis is a relatively common pathology, and surgical treatment is an option in selected cases. The common use of anterior column support by interbody fusion (IBF)…

Background and study aims: Surgical treatment options for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) based on adjacent segment disease (ASD) after spinal fusion typically involve decompression, with or without fusion, of the…
Background and study object: Pedicle screw fixation has been widely used in surgical treatment for infective lumbar spondylodiskitis to prevent instability and deformity. The cortical bone trajectory pedicle screw (CBTPS)…
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical effect of lower-limb exercise, when combined with celecoxib, on pain management of patients undergoing posterior lumbar fusion surgeries. Methods:…
