Background: Most contemporary studies suggested that intersegmental parameters including disc height and local lordosis contribute to the sagittal balance of fused lumbar. Although similar clinical outcomes following MIS- and Open-TLIF…
Objective: To investigate the change of spinopelvic sagittal balance and clinical outcomes after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS), especially the relationship between sagittal spinopelvic…

Introduction: There are several reports about invasive muscle injury during posterior spinal surgery. However, few reports have evaluated the association between the clinical symptoms and changes in the physical properties…
Introduction: Implant subsidence is a potential complication of spinal interbody fusion and may negatively affect patients subjected to procedures relying on indirect decompression such as minimally invasive transpsoas lateral lumbar…
Study design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: To validate whether fusions that end proximal to the sagittal stable vertebrae are at risk for developing distal junctional kyphosis in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.…

Background: Minimally invasive spine (MIS) fusion is an increasingly common procedure, with advantages over open approach in the form of minimal dissection and superior early clinical outcome. The frequency of…
Background: The relationship between postoperative change of cervical lordotic alignment and restoration of thoracic kyphosis with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is still controversial. We investigated reciprocal changes in the sagittal…
Introduction: Perioperative complications associated with spinal fusion have been investigated steadily to reduce morbidity and mortality. Although there are several reports reviewing abdominal complications occurring with anterior spinal fusion, complications…
