Study Design. Biomechanical study and the review of literature on lumbar interbody fusion
constructs. Objective. To demonstrate the comparative stabilizing effects of lateral interbody …

OBJECTIVE Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) remains problematic following multilevel
instrumented spine surgery. Previous biomechanical studies indicate that providing less rigid …

This study investigates the biomechanical stability of a large interbody spacer inserted by a
lateral approach and compares the biomechanical differences with the more conventional …

Object In the surgical treatment of spinal deformities, the importance of restoring lumbar
lordosis is well recognized. Smith-Petersen osteotomies (SPOs) yield approximately 10 of …

Object Lumbar interbody fusion is indicated in the treatment of degenerative conditions.
Laterally inserted interbody cages significantly decrease range of motion (ROM) compared with …

Study Design. A human cadaveric biomechanical study comparing craniocervical fixation
techniques. Objective. To quantitatively compare the biomechanical stability of a new …

Purpose Restoring sagittal alignment is an important factor in the treatment of spinal deformities.
Recent investigations have determined that releasing the anterior longitudinal ligament (…

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Stand-alone interbody cages with integrated screws potentially
provide a biomechanically stable solution for anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) that …

Purpose: We introduce 2 interlocking circumferential flexor tendon suture techniques: the
interlocking cross-stitch and the interlocking horizontal mattress repair and biomechanically …

Study Design. In vitro cadaveric biomechanical study of lateral interbody cages and
supplemental fixation in a degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) model. Objective. To investigate …
