The extent of indirect decompression after oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) is one of the most important factors in deciding the strategy. To assess the radiographical predictors of the effect…
Introduction: Spinal perimedullary arteriovenous fistula (PMAVFS) is a rare intradural vascular malformation with a high rate of misdiagnosis. In adults, most spinal PMAVFs are small and low-flow, starting with progressive…
Background: Intervertebral foramen endoscopy has developed rapidly, but compared with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), the progress of degeneration is unknown. We aim to compare the changes of intervertebral disc…
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence, mechanism, and potential protective strategies for pelvic fixation failure (PFF) within 2 years after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery.…
Background: The modality of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) in lateral approaches for interbody fusion varies. We aim to examine the types of neuromonitoring utilized in lateral interbody fusion (LIF) and associated…
Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change patterns of leg numbness (LN) after lumbar decompression surgery (LDS), and to find the predictive factors that affect the…
Purpose: This retrospective single institution study's goal was to analyze and report the complications from stand-alone lateral lumbar interbody fusions (LLIF). Methods: This research was approved by the institutional review…
Introduction/objectives: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) constitutes a multimodal approach, based on available scientific evidence, that achieves better patient's functionality, reduces pain, and even lowers financial costs. The present consensus…
Objective: Screw loosening is a widely reported issue after spinal screw fixation and triggers several complications after lumbar interbody fusion. Osteoporosis is an essential risk factor for screw loosening. Hounsfield…
Purpose: Restoration of the segment lordosis angle (SLA) can effectively reduce the risk of adjacent segment degeneration. This study aimed to perform a comprehensive multifactor analysis of the risk factors…
