BACKGROUND CONTEXT Cage subsidence following transforaminal lumbar interbody
fusion (TLIF) has been associated with poor bone quality. Current evidence suggests that …

Purpose This is the first study to evaluate the predictive value of the vertebral bone quality
(VBQ) score on cage subsidence after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in a …

OBJECTIVE Decreased bone mineral density as measured by dual-energy x-ray
absorptiometry (DEXA) has been reported to be associated with cage subsidence following …

Background Cage subsidence may occur following transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion
(TLIF) and lead to nonunion, foraminal height loss and other complications. Low bone …

Abstract Background Context It has been reported in previous studies that a decreased bone
mineral density (BMD) as measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is associated with …

Objective: To assess the association between Hounsfield units (HU) measurement and cage
subsidence after lumbar interbody fusion. Background: Transforaminal lumbar interbody …

Background Cage subsidence is a very common complication after lumbar interbody fusion.
It may compromise vertebral interbody fusion through progressive spinal deformity and …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Studies have shown that site-specific bone density
measurements had more predictive value for complications than standard whole-region …

Objective To investigate the effect of end plate morphology on cage subsidence and to
compare the surgical outcomes among patients with different vertebral end plate …

Study Design. A retrospective cohort study. Objective. To determine the risk factors of cage
subsidence in patients undergoing minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody …
