Objective: To investigate the effects of percutaneous cement discoplasty (PCD) and percutaneous cement interbody fusion (PCIF) on spinal stability by in vitro biomechanical tests. Methods: Biomechanical test was divided into…
Objective: To summarize the effect of cage height on outcomes of lumbar interbody fusion surgery and the importance of the cage height selection. Methods: The related literature was widely reviewed…
Introduction: Lumbar stenosis has become a common disease. Controversies exist regarding fusion surgery. Material and methods: The patients were divided into groups per the method of fusion received: the posterolateral…
Objective: To investigate the role of seasonality on postoperative complications following spinal surgery. Methods: Data were obtained from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from…
Extensive surgical spinopelvic fusion for patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) to achieve optimal radiological parameters should be avoided. The aim of this study was to review clinical and imaging…
We aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the single-stage posterior surgical treatment for patients of lumbar brucella spondylitis combined with spondylolisthesis. In this study, we performed a retrospective analysis…
Study design: Retrospective study. Objectives: To explore the incidence and risk factors for symptomatic adjacent segment disease (ASD) in patients enveloped in degenerative lumbar diseases after minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar…
Background: Traditional minimally invasive fluoroscopy-based techniques for pedicle screw placement utilize guidance, which may require fluoroscopic shots. Computerized tomography (CT) navigation results in more accurate screw placement. Robotic surgery seeks…
Background context: While osteoporosis is a risk factor for adverse outcomes in spinal fusion patients, diagnosing osteoporosis reliably in this population has been challenging due to degenerative changes and spinal…
Purpose: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of lumbar plexus injury (LPI) after oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) surgery. Methods: A total of 110 patients who underwent OLIF surgery…
