Objectives: To investigate the incidence of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) following extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) and identify risk factors for early ASD after XLIF. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, including patients diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis who underwent XLIF at Tianjin Hospital between July 2019 December 2022 were followed-up least one year. Preoperative final follow-up MRI X-ray examination performed all to evaluate status segments. According...
Previous studies have shown that bone mineral density (BMD) is a predictor of cage subsidence. Phantom-less quantitative computed tomography (PL-QCT) can measure volumetric (vBMD) lumbar trabecular and cortical bone. The study endplate vBMD (EP-vBMD) important in predicting settlement after extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF). This aimed to determine the risk factors for postoperative subsidence XLIF, particularly focusing on relationship between measured by automatic PL-QCT...
The proper cage positioning and height in lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF). This study evaluated their effects on clinical radiographic outcome measures patients undergoing LLIF.This single-center retrospective analyzed the characteristics perioperative data of who underwent LLIF between January 2019 December 2020. Radiographic (lumbar lordosis [LL], foraminal height, disc [DH], segmental angle [SA], cross-sectional area [CSA] thecal sac) (Oswestry Disability Index Visual Analog Scale)...
