Objective: In this study, the authors' aim was to investigate whether obesity affects surgery rates for adjacent-segment degeneration (ASD) after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for spondylolisthesis. Methods: Patients who…

Purpose: To determine whether 'topping-off' lumbar fusions, using posterior dynamic stabilising devices (PDSs) with specific biomechanical parameters, reduces the risk of adjacent segment disease (ASD). Methods: Survival analysis of two…

Background: Spinal surgery holds a higher chance of unpredicted postoperative medical complications among orthopedic surgeries. Several studies have analyzed the risk factors for diverse postoperative medical complications, but the majority…

Background: Transforaminal percutaneous endoscopic lumbar surgeries (PELS) for lumbar disc herniation and spinal stenosis are growing in popularity. However, there are some problems in the establishment of the working channel…

Background: Low back pain (LBP) due to degenerative disc disease (DDD) is the most common occupational disorder worldwide. Lumbar total disc replacement (LTDR) has provided an alternative to rigid fusion…

Background: The effects of vitamin D deficiency on spinal fusion are not well studied, nor are approaches to overcoming deficiency-related detrimental effects. The purpose of this study was to (1)…

Background: Despite the extensive use of cellular bone matrices (CBMs) in spine surgery, there is little evidence to support the contribution of cells within CBMs to bone formation. The objective…
