Introduction: Age 65 years or older is considered a risk factor for worse outcomes after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). However, few studies have differentiated this cohort from younger patients.…
This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of endoscopic spinal surgery (ESS) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for degenerative lumbar disease (DLD) through meta-analysis. The Medline…
Background context: There are few studies of the radio-clinical outcomes of cement-augmented cannulated pedicle screw (CPS) fixation in osteoporotic patients. Purpose: To compare the radiological and clinical outcomes between groups…
Purpose: Four-rod instrumentation and interbody fusion may reduce mechanical complications in degenerative scoliosis surgery compared to 2-rod instrumentation. The purpose was to compare clinical results, sagittal alignment and mechanical complications…
Objective: Oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) is becoming the preferred treatment for degenerative lumbar diseases. As beginners, we performed 143 surgeries over 19 months. In these consecutive cases, we analyzed…
It has been reported that Modic change of the lumbar spine endplate includes three types: i.e. . edema or inflammation for type 1, fatty marrow change for type 2 and…
