Purpose: The study aimed to examine the outcomes of posterior approach transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in the treatment of degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) based on the concept of intervertebral…
Background: The incidence of rod fracture after corrective surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) is high. Although many reports have investigated the effects of rod bending considering postoperative body motion,…
Background: Identifying genetic risk factors for spinal disorders may lead to knowledge regarding underlying molecular mechanisms and the development of new treatments. Methods: Cases of lumbar spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, degenerative…
Purpose: To develop ligamentous vertebral stabilization techniques ("vertebropexy") that can be used after microsurgical decompression (intact posterior structures) and midline decompression (removed posterior structures) and to elaborate their biomechanical characteristics.…

Background: Instrumented Posterior Lumbar Spinal Fusion (IPLSF) has been demonstrated to contribute to instability following Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). It is unclear whether a supine Direct Anterior (DA) approach reduces…
Introduction: Lumbar interbody fusion is a standard method to treat certain degenerative conditions that are refractory to conservative treatments. LLIF reduces posterior muscle damage, can relieve neurological symptoms through indirect…
