Purpose: Pedicle screws placement is very common procedure in spinal surgery. Robotic assisted surgery has been widely used in this operation. We assessed the accuracy of thoracolumbar spine trans-pedicle screws…
Objective: Previous studies have neither explored the usage of cross-links nor investigated the optimal position of the cross-links in posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). This study evaluates biomechanical properties of…
Purpose: CSF leaks are a known complication of lumbar fusion surgery. There is a scarcity of literature describing the incidence and risk factors associated with this complication. The aim of…
