Lumbar fusion is an accepted and effective technique for the treatment of lumbar
degenerative disease. The practice has evolved continually since Albee and Hibbs …

Low back pain is associated with degenerative disc diseases of the spine. Surgical
treatment includes fusion and non-fusion types. The gold standard is fusion surgery, wherein …

OBJECTIVE Postoperative subsidence of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF)
cages can result in loss of lordosis and foraminal height, and potential recurrence of nerve …

OBJECT Cortical bone trajectory (CBT) maximizes thread contact with the cortical bone
surface and provides increased fixation strength. Even though the superior stability of axial …

Objective The aim of the present study was to clarify the biomechanical properties of oblique
lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) using different fixation methods in normal and osteoporosis …

Purpose Biomechanical comparison between rigid and non-rigid posterior stabilization
systems following lumbar interbody fusion has been conducted in several studies. However …

Study Design: A biomechanical ex vivo study of the human lumbar spine. Objective: To
evaluate the effects of transpedicular screw insertion depth on overall screw stability and …

Background A porous additive manufactured (AM) cage may provide stability similar to that
of traditional solid cages and may be beneficial to bone ingrowth. The biomechanical …

Background Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a well-established surgical
treatment for patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease; however, the optimal position …

In lumbar interbody fusion, a porous additive manufactured (AM) cage can provide more
desirable stiffness, and may be beneficial to bone ingrowth. The biomechanical influence of …
