Abstract Background Context An overload of the paravertebral muscles after surgical
intervention is suggested to be the major cause of postoperative pain. In cross-sectional …

Background and Objective: Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion
(MIS-TLIF) has been investigated and shown excellent short-and long-term outcomes. In this …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate outcomes after minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody
fusion (MI-TLIF). BACKGROUND: MI-TLIF is a relatively novel technique for treating …

Background context The published literature has not characterized the surgeon's learning
curve with the technically demanding technique of a minimally invasive transforaminal …

Study Design: A prospective randomized study was conducted. Objective: The purpose of
this study was to assess the radiographic outcomes of one-level minimally invasive …

Study Design: Systematic review. Objective: To date there is no consensus among surgeons
as to what defines an MIS-TLIF (transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion using minimally …

Background Application of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-
TLIF) is limited by long fluoroscopy time and a steep learning curve. Herein, MI-TLIF was …

Study Design: A retrospective study. Objective: To determine the clinical and radiologic
outcomes of the long-term results of instrumented minimally invasive spinal-transforaminal …

Object Clinical and radiographic results were assessed to determine the clinical outcomes
and fusion rate in eight consecutive patients selected for minimally invasive transforaminal …
