Background In the current surgical therapeutic regimen for the degenerative lumbar disease,
both oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) and lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) are …

Background: Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) affords a wide operative corridor to allow
for a large interbody cage implantation for segmental reconstruction. There is a paucity of …

Purpose The purpose of the study was to investigate several potential imaging biomarkers of
CLBP that may be useful for diagnosis and treatment efficacy evaluation. Proton magnetic …

Background Recent minimal-invasive posterior fusion devices are supposed to provide
stability and obtain fusion in combination with interbody cages in the instrumented segment …

Background Wide-spread concerns have been raised about possible bias in published
surgical non-inferiority trials. Therefore, we performed a comprehensive bibliometric …

Background Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) is a minimally invasive fusion procedure
that may be performed with or without supplemental instrumentation. However, there is a …

A systematic literature review was conducted on studies comparing interspinous process
(ISP) devices to traditional methods of posterior spinal instrumentation (pedicle screw-rod …

Lateral approaches to the lumbar spine offer an alternative technique for addressing
numerous diseases of the lumbar spine. The retroperitoneal approach provides a surgical …

BACKGROUND: In clinical application, simple interspinous fixation without additional
interbody fusion has similar fixation effects to pedicle screw and rod fusion internal fixation …

This paper aims to review recent research progress in lumbar interbody fusion (LIF)
techniques and bone biomaterials for treating low back pain resulting from lumbar instability …
