Introduction: Intraoperative navigation during spine surgery improves pedicle screw placement accuracy. However, limited studies have correlated navigation with clinical factors including operative time and safety. This study compares complications and…
Objective: To conduct a preliminary analysis on the impact of time to surgery (TTS) and duration of symptoms (DOS) on clinical outcomes in workers' compensation patients undergoing minimally invasive transforaminal…
Robotic assistance technologies are being incorporated into minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) to minimize radiation exposure to the patient and operating staff. However, they introduce new issues including…
Objective: Recurrent lumbar disc herniation (RLDH) is the most common cause of sciatica after primary discectomy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of transpedicular dynamic stabilization…
Objective: To compare the effect of decompression of the spinal canal with or without discectomy on the clinical efficacy of Dynesys dynamic fixation treatment in lumbar degenerative diseases. Methods: A…
Objective: The oblique lateral locking plate system (OLLPS) is a novel internal fixation with a locking and reverse pedicle track screw configuration designed for oblique lumbar interbody fusion(OLIF). The OLLPS…

Background: Management of degenerative disease of the spine has evolved to favor minimally invasive techniques, including nonrobotic-assisted and robotic-assisted minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF). Value-based spending is being…
Purpose: Previous studies have demonstrated that minimally invasive (MI) transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is comparable to the open approach in terms of efficacy and safety. However, few comparative studies…
