OBJECTIVE The role of interbodies in lumbar arthrodesis has been insufficiently supported
by evidence, impacting clinical decision-making and occasionally insurance coverage. This …

Purpose To determine if polyetheretherketone (PEEK) or titanium alloy cages increase the
rate of pseudarthrosis development or revision surgery rate compared with structural …

Among interbody implants used during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF),
structural allografts and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) are the most used spacers. Currently …

Analysis of magnetic resonance image (MRI) quality after open (Op)-transforaminal
interbody fusion (TLIF) and minimally invasive (MI)-TLIF with the implantation of structurally …

Study Design. Prospective, randomized, blinded clinical trial. Objective. To examine clinical
and radiological outcomes in patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND CONTEXT Allograft and polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK)
radiographic, biomechanical, histological properties have been extensively studied and both …

Complex deformities of lower limbs are frequent in children with genetic or metabolic
skeletal disorders. Early correction is frequently required, but it is technically difficult and …

Background With the increasing prevalence of obesity, there is a need to understand the
impact of body mass index (BMI) on spine surgery outcomes. Previous literature has …

Background A wide variety of materials are used for lumbar interbody fusion, but there is no
unified consensus on the superiority of one material over another. The aim of this systematic …

Background: 3D-printing has shown potential in several medical advances because of its
ability to create patient-specific surgical models and instruments. In fact, this technology …
