Objective: ABM/P-15 is a commercially available synthetically manufactured P-15 collagen peptide fragment, that is adsorbed on anorganic bone matrix. This study was done to investigate the efficacy of ABM/P-15 in…
Background: To explore the biomechanical differences in oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) augmented by different types of instrumentation. Methods: A three-dimensional nonlinear finite element (FE) model of an intact L3-S1…
Introduction: Proximal junctional failure (PJF) is a well-known complication after long-segment (at least 4 vertebral levels) instrumented fusion. The etiologies of PJF include degenerative processes or are fracture induced. The…
Background: Many surgeons have reported results similar to those of anterior debridement and bone grafting in treating spinal tuberculosis in the lumbar region using only a posterior approach. However, there…
Posterior screw-rod constructs can be used to stabilize spinal segments; however, the stiffness is not absolute, and some motion can persist. While the effect of crosslink-augmentation has been evaluated in…
Background: Symptomatic pseudarthrosis and cage migration/protrusion are difficult complications of transforaminal or posterior lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF/PLIF). If the patient experiences severe radicular symptoms due to cage protrusion, removal of…

The effects and inflammation-related side effects of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 on posterior lumbar interbody fusion are controversial. One of the potential causes for the inconsistent results is the uncontrolled…
Study design: This was a systematic review. Objective: The present study aims to review the available literature concerning sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain and degeneration after lumbosacral fixation to identify the…
