Background Although many research studies investigating subsidence of intervertebral
fusion cages have been published, to our knowledge, no study has comprehensively …

The authors conducted a study to determine at what stage after surgery the subsidence
occurred, and to assess the relationships of radiographic fusion and the recurrence of …

Study Design Retrospective cohort Objective Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) may be
complicated by subsidence, which can lead to significant morbidity including pain, disc …

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

Objective The evidence regarding the consequences of subsidence with lateral lumbar
interbody fusion (LLIF) has been sparse. The objective of this study is to calculate the …

OBJECTIVE Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) facilitates the restoration of disc height
and the indirect decompression of neural elements. However, these benefits are lost when …

OBJECT Intervertebral cage settling during bone remodeling after lumbar lateral interbody
fusion (LIF) is a common occurrence during the normal healing process. Progression of this …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) procedures have a
known incidence of subsidence. The individual risk of subsidence for specific lumbar levels …

Introduction: Few studies have investigated the influence of cage subsidence patterns
(intraoperative endplate injury or late-onset cage settling) on bony fusion and clinical …

Study Design: A retrospective review of prospectively collected radiographic and clinical
data. Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between cage subsidence …
