Objective: Cortical screw-rod (CSR) fixation has emerged as an alternative to the traditional pedicle screw-rod (PSR) fixation for posterior lumbar fixation. Previous studies have concluded that CSR provides the same…
Backgrounds: Surgical reduction for high-grade spondylolisthesis is beneficial for restoring sagittal balance and improving the biomechanical environment for arthrodesis. Compared to posterior total laminectomy and long instrumentation, anterior lumbar inter-body…
Objective: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a common disease in spinal surgery. At present, many related treatment methods have been reported, but their effectiveness still lacks a systematic comparison. We…
Objective: This study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of salvage oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) surgery for pseudarthrosis after posterior/transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF/TLIF). Methods: The subjects consist of the…
Background: Adjacent segmental degeneration (ASD) is one of the common complications following posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). Both whole body vibration (WBV) and osteoporosis are important factors associated with the…
Study design: Retrospective, controlled study. Purpose: Dynamic fixation (topping-off technique) adjacent to a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) level was developed to reduce the risk of adjacent segment disease (ASDi).…
