Objective: We aimed to compare the early clinical efficacy of endoscopy-assisted transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (Endo-TLIF) and traditional Open-TLIF in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation and lumbar instability. Methods:…
Background: The use of lumbar fusion surgery is increasing in developed economies. High levels of patient dissatisfaction are reported post-operatively. To address this need, we developed a theoretically informed rehabilitation…
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not pre-existing asymptomatic neuroforaminal stenosis adjacent to the fusion level develops adjacent segment disease (ASD) after single-level lumbar interbody…
Objective: To compare perioperative outcomes, PROMs, and minimum clinical important difference (MCID) achievement following single-level TLIF in patients stratified by preoperative comorbidity burden. Methods: PROMs were administered preoperatively/postoperatively and included…
Background context: Lumbar total disc replacement (TDR) is an alternative to lumbar fusion in the treatment of lower back pain and reduces the risk of adjacent segment degeneration. Heterotopic ossification…
Purpose: Pedicle screw loosening is a frequent complication in lumbar spine fixation, most commonly among patients with poor bone quality. Determining patients at high risk for insufficient implant stability would…
