Study design: A single-centre retrospective study. Background and purpose: This study aims to investigate the rate of L5 radiculopathy, to identify imaging features associated with the complication and to evaluate…
Objective: Discuss non-surgical spinal rehabilitation for a 27-year-old male with thoracic and lumbosacral spondylolistheses. A selective literature review and discussion are provided. Clinical features: A 27-year-old male presented with severe,…
Study design: Retrospective cohort. Objective: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) may be complicated by subsidence, which can lead to significant morbidity including pain, disc space collapse, neural compression, segmental kyphosis,…
Objective: The anterior column realignment (ACR) procedure, which consists of sectioning the anterior longitudinal ligament/annulus and placing a hyperlordotic interbody cage, has emerged as a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for…
Objective: Cage subsidence is a well-known phenomenon after lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), occurring in 10%-20% of cases. A 3D-printed porous titanium (pTi) cage has a stiffness that mimics the…
The use of anterior spinal surgery for the treatment of spinal pathology has experienced a dramatic increase over the past decade. Long relegated to treat complicated anterior pathologies it has…
Study design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: To compare the early radiographic adjacent segment degeneration (R-ASD) and regional lumbar sagittal alignment after midline lumbar interbody fusion (MIDLIF) with cortical bone trajectory…
Study design: An ambispective, observational study of the prospective, institutional adult spine deformity (ASD) database. Objectives: The study investigates the clinical and radiographic fusion rates with lateral interbody approach and…
