Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy and feasibility of posterior-only debridement, internal fixation, and interbody fusion using titanium mesh in the surgical treatment of thoracolumbar tuberculosis (TB) with spinal epidural…
Introduction: Several techniques for pedicle screw placement have been described including freehand techniques, fluoroscopy assisted, computed tomography (CT) guidance, and robotics. Image-guided surgery offers the potential to combine the benefits…

Purpose: To review and compare clinical and radiologic outcomes between anterior spinal fusion (ASF) and posterior spinal fusion (PSF) for the treatment of Lenke type 5 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).…
Objective: To evaluate the effect of degenerative scoliosis on the difficulty and efficacy of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion(MIS-TLIF) in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods: From September…
Background: This study aims to evaluate the biomechanical stability of a novel lateral plate (NLP) that can be employed in oblique lateral lumbar fusion (OLIF). Methods: In vitro biomechanical tests…
Background: Perioperative hypoalbuminemia of the posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) can increase the risk of infection of the incision site, and it is challenging to accurately predict perioperative hypoproteinemia. The…
Background context: Anterior lumbar fusion surgery is increasing by an estimated 24% annually in the United States. There is a paucity of precise anatomic guidelines to help surgeons determine the…
