Introduction A novel expandable lumbar interbody fusion cage has been developed which
allows for a broad endplate footprint similar to an anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF); …

Study Design: A biomechanical finite element modeling study of the human lumbar spine.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of a transforaminal interbody device's footprint on lumbar …

Study Design. In vitro biomechanical study using human fresh-frozen vertebrae. Objective.
To investigate the influence of the additional screw fixation on the stability of a …

Study Design. Controlled laboratory study. Objective. To evaluate the biomechanical
characteristics of a new expandable interbody cage in single-segment posterior lumbar …

BACKGROUND: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion and posterior lumbar interbody fusion with
1 cage have been shown to have similar biomechanics compared with the use of 2 cages …

OBJECTIVE To study the biomechanical behavior of lumbar interbody instrumentation
techniques using titanium cages as either transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) or …

BACKGROUND: Prior biomechanical studies of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion were
primarily focused on various posterior instrumentation options, comparison with other fusion …

Background One-and two-level lumbar interbody fusion with unilateral instrumentation is as
effective as that with bilateral instrumentation. The height of the interbody cage influences …

Background Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) followed by pedicle screw fixation (PSF)
is used to restore the height of the intervertebral disc and provide stability. Recently, stand …
