Background: Integrated lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) devices have been shown to
successfully stabilize the spine and avoid complications related to posterior fixation …

Object Traditional posterior pedicle screw fixation is well established as the standard for
spinal stabilization following posterior or posterolateral lumbar fusion. In patients with …

Objective To evaluate the biomechanical contribution of the integration of screws into a
polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) spacer, and to compare the resulting construct to standard …

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 …

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

Background Interbody fusion cages with integrated fixation components have become of
interest due to their ability to provide enhanced post-operative stability and mitigate device …

Object The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of anterior
polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement augmentation in instrumented anterior lumbar …

Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with a spacer and posterior instrument (PI) via
minimally invasive surgery (MIS) restores intervertebral height in degenerated disks. To …

OBJECTIVE Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) has emerged as a popular method for
lumbar fusion. In this study the authors aimed to quantify the biomechanical stability of an …
