Objective: Excessive stress and motion at the L5-S1 level can lead to degenerative changes, especially in patients with posterior instrumentation suprajacent to L5. Attention has turned to utilization of L5-S1…
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether cage morphology influences clinical and radiographic outcomes following short-segment transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) procedures. Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed…
Objective: There is no consensus regarding the best surgical strategy at the lumbosacral junction (LSJ) in long constructs for adult spinal deformity (ASD). The use of interbody fusion (IF) has…
Introduction: While the effects of VBT on coronal parameters have been investigated in various studies, this has not yet been the case for sagittal parameters. This is of particular relevance…
Study design: This was a retrospective cohort study. Objective: The goal of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of patients with cervical degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) undergoing anterior cervical discectomy…
At the beginning of clinical application, CBT technique was mainly used for lumbar degenerative diseases in Elderly Patients, and single or double segments of lower lumbar vertebrae accounted for the…
Background: Early instrumentation failure (EIF) after pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) is a known complication of adult spine deformity (ASD) correction. In contrast to the more common failure that occurs secondary…
Background: Previous studies of patient positioning during spinal surgery evaluated intraoperative or immediate postoperative outcomes after short-instrumented lumbar fusion. However, patient positioning during long-instrumented fusion for an adult spinal deformity…
Objective: With the expanding indications for and increasing popularity of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for lumbar spinal fusion, large-scale outcomes analysis to compare MIS approaches with open procedures is warranted.…
Background context: Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) has been proven to be effective in treating lumbar degenerative disorders (LDDs) via indirect decompression. However, its superiority over transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion…
