Background and objectives: Oblique Lateral Interbody Fusion (OLIF) is a widely performed, minimally invasive technique to achieve lumbar lateral interbody fusion. However, some complications can arise due to constraints posed…
Background context: RA is a systemic disease state with prominent musculoskeletal manifestations associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing cervical spine surgery; however, few studies have specifically examined…
Introduction The LLIF was a revolutionary approach devised by Luiz Pimenta that allowed the surgeon to access the lumbar spine through the major psoas muscle. Although the traditional LLIF had…
Background: Lateral interbody fusion (LIF) is traditionally performed in lateral decubitus on a breaking surgical table to improve L4-5 access. Prone transpsoas (PTP) LIF may improve sagittal alignment and facilitate…
Background: This study aimed to develop a sensitive, accurate method for simultaneously quantifying cefuroxime and clindamycin in human serum, lumbar anulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus. Methods: Cefuroxime and clindamycin were…
Background context: Previous studies have shown that oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) can improve neurological symptoms via "indirect decompression." However, data are lacking in terms of its benefits when compared…
Background and study aims: Spinal fusion for symptomatic lumbar spondylolisthesis can be accomplished using an open or minimally invasive surgical (MIS) technique. Evaluation of segmental spondylolisthesis and instabilities and review…
To compare the surgical outcomes of autogenous spinous process with iliac bone graft in managing single segment lumbar pyogenic spondylitis (PS) after posterior debridement and instrumentation. We performed a retrospective…
Objective: Even though lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) are one of the most common congenital anomalies of the spine, their effect on surrounding soft tissues is not well-studied. We therefore aimed…
Background: Posterior spinal fusion (PSF) has proven to be a safe, reliable technique to treat spinal deformities in adolescents. In recent early reports, vertebral body tethering (VBT) is showing promise…
