The purpose of this study was to use models of spine to compare range of motion and intradiscal pressure of adjacent segments performing anterior and/or posterior lumbar surgical approaches and…
Change of Lumbar Ligamentum Flavum after Indirect Decompression Using Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion. Ohtori S, Orita S, Yamauchi K, Eguchi Y, Aoki Y, Nakamura J, Miyagi M, Suzuki M, Kubota…
Introduction: The modified Moro's classification (MMC) of psoas morphology and oblique corridor (OC) grading were recently proposed. Their reliability needs to be tested. Methods: T2 weighted lumbar disc level axial-cut…
Background: /Objective: With a growing aging population in the United States, the number of operative lumbar spine pathologies continues to grow. Therefore, our objective was to estimate the future demand…
Introduction: There is no consensus on how to evaluate segmental fusion after lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF). Bone bridges (BB) between two contiguous vertebra are reported as pathognomonic criteria for…
Background: The classic laminectomy for spinal decompression was the treatment of choice of the degenerative lumbar canal stenosis (LCS). Many surgeons prefer to add instrumented lumbar fusion to avoid future…
Background: Clinical practice in postoperative bracing after posterior single-level lumbar spine fusion (PLF) is inconsistent between providers. This study seeks to assess the effect of bracing on short-term outcomes related…
Background: Unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) decompression is a minimally invasive (MI) approach to treat degenerative lumbar canal stenosis (DLCS). Decompression can be performed in a clear and magnified surgical field…
Background: Full-endoscopic spine surgery (FESS) is a suitable treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and foraminal stenosis. This study investigated the usefulness of FESS in treating adjacent segment disease (ASD)…
Background: The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness and prognostic factors of revisional full endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (FEID) for recurrent herniation after conventional open disc surgery. The…
