Study design: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Objective: To investigate the effect of the approach of the TLIF (open vs. MIS) on reoperation rates due to ASD at 2…
Study design: Retrospective review. Objective: To assess the change in pelvic incidence (PI) after lumbo-pelvic fixation and the differential impact of the type of pelvic fixation: S2-alar-iliac screws(S2AI) versus Iliac…
Objective: To establish minimum clinically important difference (MCID) in anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) for the physical function PROMs Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function (PROMIS-PF), 12-Item Short Form…
Background: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is a well-established surgical treatment option for various diseases of the lumbar spine, including spondylolisthesis. This study aimed to evaluate the postoperative correction of…
Objective: The upper facet joint en bloc resection is the key step to open the intervertebral foramina for achieving the intervertebral fusion in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) surgery. Our…
Objective: To assess agreement between pedicle screw placement evaluated on post-operative computed tomography (CT) and on intra-operative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and compare procedure characteristics when using 1st and…
Background: Unplanned reoperation is commonly performed due to postoperative complications. Previous studies have reported the incidence of unplanned reoperation following lumbar spinal surgery. But few study focused on the trend…
