Background: Restoration of three-dimensional (3D) alignment is critical in correcting patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis using posterior spinal fusion (PSF). However, current studies mostly rely on 2D radiographs, resulting in…
Purpose: Current literature suggests that biportal spinal endoscopy is safe and effective in treating lumbar spine pathology such as lumbar disc herniation, lumbar stenosis, and degenerative spondylolisthesis. No prior study…
Introduction: This meta-analysis aimed to compare the differences in postoperative efficacy between oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases.…
Study design: Retrospective cohort study. Objectives: To determine whether preoperative clinical and radiographic degenerative spondylolisthesis (CARDS) classification is associated with differences in patient-reported outcomes and spinopelvic parameters after posterior decompression…
Study design: Retrospective Cohort Study. Objective: The decision to pursue operative intervention for patients with isthmic spondylolisthesis is complex. While steroid injections are a well-accepted therapeutic modality that may delay…
Study design: Retrospective cohort study OBJECTIVE: To compare outcomes among Clinical and Radiographic Degenerative Spondylolisthesis (CARDS) subtypes in patients undergoing posterior lumbar decompression and fusion (PLDF) or transforaminal lumbar interbody…

Background: This study investigated 1-year clinical and radiological outcomes of biplanar expandable (BE) cages following transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in an Asian population. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted…
Objective: Although cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screw fixation has been used for several years, the number of studies on its fusion effects is limited. Furthermore, several studies report conflicting outcomes.…
