Purpose: Multiple-rod constructs (MRCs) are often used in deformity correction for increased stability and rigidity. There are currently no reports showing minimally invasive placement of MRCs in adult deformity surgery…
Background context: As more patients undergo anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) procedures and more devices are created for that purpose, it is important to understand the complications that can arise…
Background context: Lateral decubitus single position anterior-posterior (AP) fusion utilizing anterior lumbar interbody fusion and percutaneous posterior fixation is a novel, minimally invasive surgical technique. Single position lumbar surgery (SPLS)…
Study design: Finite element analysis (FEA) and in vivo ovine spinal interbody fusion study. Objective: To determine comparative load-induced strain amplitudes, bone mineralization and fusion outcomes associated with different diameter…
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine whether previous lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) was an independent risk factor for complications in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) or…
Objective: To compare the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (Mis-TLIF) and oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) for the treatment of single-level lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis…

Objective: This study assesses how degree of overlap, either before or after the critical operative portion, affects lumbar fusion outcomes. Methods: The authors retrospectively studied 3799 consecutive patients undergoing single-level,…
Objective: Previous studies have demonstrated that Lenke lumbar modifier A contains 2 distinct types (AR and AL), and the AR curve pattern is likely to develop adding-on (i.e., a progressive…
