Objective: The purpose was to compare the clinical effects of posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) complicated…
Study design: Single-center retrospective cohort study. Objectives: To evaluate inpatient MME administration associated with different lumbar spinal fusion surgeries. Methods: Patients ≥18 years of age with a diagnosis of Grade…
Background: The fusion of the lumbar spine may lead to the degeneration of the adjacent segments. In this study, the effects of OLIF and TLIF on adjacent segments after treatment…
Background: Many studies have reported that minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF) provides satisfactory treatment comparable to other fusion methods. However, in the case of MI-TLIF, there are concerns…
Study design: Retrospective cohort study. Purpose: Traumatic fracture dislocation of the spine injury is essentially a three column injury that optimally needs surgical intervention to decompress, stabilize and fuse the…
Introduction: Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) has been widely used to treat various degenerative spinal diseases. However, surgical site infection (SSI) post-PLIF is often difficult to cure. This study aimed…
Background: Proximal junction kyphosis (PJK) is the postsurgical radiographic event seen in the surgical plane after the fusion of a spinal deformity. Unfavorable health outcomes have been reported in symptomatic…
