Instrumented transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion in surgical treatment of recurrent disc herniation
Background :The incidence of recurrence in patients undergoing primary discectomy due to lumbar disc herniation (LDH), is regularly reported as 5-15%. In this study we aimed to evaluate surgical outcome of instrumented transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in the patients suffering from recurrent LDH. Methods : We retrospectively studied 51 patients (30 female, 21 male) from August ...
متن کاملComparison of unilateral posterior lumbar interbody fusion and bilateral posterior interbody fusion with simple discectomy at degenerative disc herniations.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the early results of unilateral posterior lumbar interbody fusion technique in lumbar discectomy cases compared with simple discectomy and bilateral posterior interbody fusion cases using visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry outcomes instruments and radiological and physical examinations. METHODS The control group had 40 patients who underwent simple discectomy. In gr...
متن کاملCurb the Pain of Spondylolisthesis; Comparing Posterolateral Fusion with Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion
Background & Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the pain of patients with spondylolisthesis who had undergone either of the surgery techniques: posterolateral fusion (PLF) or posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). Methods & Materials/Patients: In a prospective observational study, 102 surgical candidates with low grade degenerative and isthmic spondylolisthesis were e...
متن کاملThe VariLift® Interbody Fusion System: expandable, standalone interbody fusion
Intervertebral fusion cages have been in clinical use since the 1990s. Cages offer the benefits of bone graft containment, restored intervertebral and foraminal height, and a more repeatable, stable procedure compared to interbody fusion with graft material alone. Due to concerns regarding postoperative stability, loss of lordosis, and subsidence or migration of the implant, interbody cages are...
متن کاملCan Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion with Carbon Spacers Restore Lordosis and Disc Height?
Introduction Posterior lumbar interbody fusion can theoretically allow neural decompression directly and by restoration of disc height and appropriate lumbar lordosis. The technique of insertion of a trapezoidal lordotic wedge spacer (ramp) into the disc space before rotating it into position theoretically will obtain both an increase in disc height and allow correction of lordosis. However obs...
