Revisional Endoscopic Foraminal Decompression via Modified Interlaminar Approach at L5-S1 after Failed Posterior Instrumented Lumbar Fusion in Elderly Patients – Lumbar Fusion

Bioengineering (Basel). 2023 Sep 19;10(9):1097. doi: 10.3390/bioengineering10091097.ABSTRACTElderly people usually have poorer surgical tolerance and a higher incidence of complications when undergoing revision surgery after posterior instrumented lumbar fusion (PILF). Full-endoscopic transforaminal surgery is a safe and effective option, but sometimes, it is difficult to revise L5-S1 foraminal stenosis (FS) after PILF. Therefore, we developed full-endoscopic

Influence of Simulated State of Disc Degeneration and Axial Stiffness of Coupler in a Hybrid Performance Stabilisation System on the Biomechanics of a Spine Segment Model – Lumbar Fusion

By Web Publisher

Bioengineering (Basel). 2023 Sep 5;10(9):1042. doi: 10.3390/bioengineering10091042.ABSTRACTSpinal fusion surgery leads to the restriction of mobility in the vertebral segments postoperatively, thereby causing stress to rise at the adjacent levels, resulting in early degeneration and a high risk of adjacent vertebral fractures. Thus, to address this issue, non-fusion surgery applies some pedicle screw-based dynamic stabilisation systems

Efficacy of Minimally Invasive Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion Using Polyetheretherketone Cages for Lumbar Pyogenic Spondylodiscitis Treatment – Lumbar Fusion

By Web Publisher

J Pers Med. 2023 Aug 24;13(9):1293. doi: 10.3390/jpm13091293.ABSTRACT(1) Background: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a minimally invasive oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) using polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages for the treatment of lumbar pyogenic spondylodiscitis. (2) Methods: Fifty-one patients with single-level lumbar pyogenic spondylodiscitis were included in the study. Patients were divided into two

Age-Related Variations in Postoperative Pain Intensity across 10 Surgical Procedures: A Retrospective Study of Five Hospitals in South Korea – Lumbar Fusion

By Web Publisher

J Clin Med. 2023 Sep 12;12(18):5912. doi: 10.3390/jcm12185912.ABSTRACTAge-related differences in pain perception have been reported in various contexts; however, their impact on postoperative pain intensity remains poorly understood, especially across different surgical procedures. Data from five hospitals were retrospectively analyzed, encompassing patients who underwent 10 distinct surgical procedures. Numeric rating scale scores were used to

Elucidation of the Mechanism of Occasional Anterior Longitudinal Ligament Rupture with Posterior Correction Procedure for Adult Spinal Deformity Using LLIF-Finite Element Analysis of the Impact of the Lordotic Angle of Intervertebral LLIF Cage – Lumbar Fusion

By Web Publisher

Medicina (Kaunas). 2023 Aug 29;59(9):1569. doi: 10.3390/medicina59091569.ABSTRACTBackground and Objectives: There are several advantages of using lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) for correction surgeries for adult spinal deformity (ASD); however, we currently have unresolved new issues, including occasional anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL) rupture during the posterior correction procedure. When LLIF was initially introduced, only less lordotic

Evaluating the Efficacy of Water-Soluble Bone Wax (Tableau Wax) in Reducing Blood Loss in Spinal Fusion Surgery: A Randomized, Controlled, Pilot Study – Lumbar Fusion

By Web Publisher

Medicina (Kaunas). 2023 Aug 25;59(9):1545. doi: 10.3390/medicina59091545.ABSTRACTBackground and Objectives: Lumbar decompression with fusion surgery is an effective treatment for spinal stenosis, but critical postoperative hematoma is a concern. Bone wax has been widely used to control bone bleeding but it has some drawbacks. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Tableau wax, a bioabsorbable
