Background: To explore the clinical safety and efficacy of single-stage posterior-only debridement, decompression, allograft bone using titanium mesh and interbody fusion combined for the treatment of thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis complicated…
Objective: To evaluate the effect of inserting epidemiologic information into lumbar spine imaging reports on subsequent non-surgical and surgical procedures involving the thoracolumbosacral spine and sacroiliac (SI) joints. Design: Analysis…
Extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) has become the standard of minimally invasive lumbar segmental scoliosis treatment. Our objective is to determine the safety and efficacy of XLIF in spinal canal…
Study design: Prospective observational study. Objectives: We aimed to analysis the distributional patterns of the intra- and extra-cage bridging bone (InCBB and ExCBB) and the significance of ExCBB using suggested…
Background: This study aimed to assess the surgical outcomes of two kinds of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) putties/local autograft composites in instrumented posterolateral lumbar fusion (PLF). Methods: Twenty-seven fusion segments…
Background: Intervertebral fusion is the most common surgery to treat lumbar degenerative disease (LDD). And the graft material used in the operation is derived from the iliac crest to promote…
Background: Postoperative spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is a rare complication of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). This condition may rapidly produce severe neurological deficits, often requiring a prompt surgical…
Purpose: Previous studies have shown conflicting results regarding the factors affecting the clinical outcome after fusion for degenerative spondylolisthesis. However, no study has compared the best and worst clinical outcome…
Although transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a widely accepted procedure, major complications such as cage retropulsion (CR) can cause poor clinical outcomes. Endplate injury (EI) was recently identified as…
