Purpose: To compare the effectiveness and safety of oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF) for degenerative lumbar disease. Methods: We searched relevant studies…
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the risk factors for screw loosening after single-level posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) utilizing cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screw and establish a nomogram for…
Purpose: In the past decade, the field of pre-psoas oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) has developed rapidly, and with it, the literature on OLIF has grown considerably. This study was…
Objective: Lumbar micro instability is a diffuse problem mostly in elderly population. Interspinous processes devices (IPDs) have been introduced in the clinical practice for relieving the dynamic compression on the…

Objective: To examine complication rates and radiographic outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for adult spinal deformity by a junior surgeon. Methods: A study was conducted of a retrospective cohort of…
Objective: There has been an increase in the use of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) for intraoperative neuromonitoring during thoracolumbar posterior spinal fusion (PSF). Although prior studies have identified risk factors…
Purpose: Symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis can be treated with decompression surgery. A recent review reported that, after decompression surgery, 1.6-32.0% of patients develop postoperative symptomatic spondylolisthesis and may therefore be…
Objectives: The evaluation of lumbar interbody fusion status is generally subjective and may differ among raters. The authors examined whether the assessment of position change of screw-rod constructs could be…
Objective: To investigate the difference in time-to-fusion between two sets of interbody fusion criteria (absence of peri-graft radiolucency vs. trabecular bone bridging), and to determine the effect of osteoporosis on…
