STUDY OF THE DIAMETER OF THE OBLIQUE CORRIDOR IN LATERAL DECUBITUS AND DORSAL DECUBITUS: RADIOLOGICAL STUDY

ABSTRACT Introduction: Degenerative intervertebral disc disease and its impact on quality of life when associated with sagittal misalignmentis a current topic in the literature. The technique known as OLIF derives from need to use anterior cage stop romote stabilization affected segment, indirect decompression, restoration segmental lordosis, balance. Methods: Single-center, non-randomized, comparative, observational study. following variables were measured using magnetic resonance imaging lumbar spine dorsal lateral decubitus, establishing comparison between size corridor L3L4 L4L5 segments, well different positions. Results: There was no difference incorridor decubitus. However, levels compared, there significant both Conclusion: present study did not show any suggesting that thee valuation convention al images appearstobe safe andreflects actual positio ned for performing technique.
