Objective: To summarize the research progress on spontaneous facet fusion (SFF) after lumbar spine surgery, and provide reference for further research on SFF. Methods: The definition, development, clinical significance, and…
Lumbar disc herniation is among the common phenotypes of degenerative lumbar spine diseases, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. The practice pattern is diverse. Choosing conservative measures or surgical treatments…
Background: Surgical treatment of scoliosis includes long and invasive multi-level instrumentation and correction which may result in high rates of postoperative complications, especially in elderly patients with osteopenia or multiple…
Study design: Retrospective cohort study. Objectives: We newly found that trabecular bone remodeling (TBR) often appeared in the fixed adjacent vertebrae during bony fusion. Thus, TBR might indicate osteointegration. Hence,…

Introduction: Instrumentation with pedicle screws (PS) can compromise the adjacent neural structures. Triggered electromyography (tEMG) is a modality of intraoperative neuromonitoring, used to assist in the placement of these. The…
Objective: Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) is known as a minimally invasive technique for disc space augmentation. Motor weakness after OLIF has been known to occur in some cases. This…
Purpose: To evaluate the vertebral bone mineral density and the value of stand-alone oblique lumbar interbody fusion (SA OLIF) for the management of single-level adjacent segment disease (ASD) and primary…
