Comparison of outcomes and safety of using hydroxyapatite granules as a substitute for autograft in cervical cages for anterior cervical discectomy and interbody fusion
Background: After cervical discectomy, autogenetic bone is packed into the cage to increase the rate of union between adjacent vertebral bodies, but donor site–related complications can still occur. In this study we evaluate the use of hydroxyapatite granules as a substitute for autograft for interbody fusion. Methods: From November 2008 to November 2011, 236 patients participated in ...
متن کاملAnalysis of the correlative factors in the selection of interbody fusion cage height in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion.
BACKGROUND Selecting an interbody cage with appropriate height is one of the key steps in lumbar interbody fusion, and has an important impact on clinical efficacy. How to choose the appropriate height of the cage becomes one of the core problems of lumbar interbody fusion for spine surgeons. However, studies about objective selection criteria on interbody cage height was rare. METHODS One hu...
متن کاملIs one cage enough in posterior lumbar interbody fusion: a comparison of unilateral single cage interbody fusion to bilateral cages.
Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF), as recommended with bilateral lumbar interbody cages and pedicle screw fixation, has increased the successful fusion rate to nearly 100%. Presently, a unilateral approach to the disc space with a variant of PLIF, the trans-foraminal interbody fusion is often used. There are few clinical studies of unilateral interbody fusion. The clinical and fusion res...
متن کاملA Biomechanical Comparison of Shape Design and Positioning of Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Cages
STUDY DESIGN Cadaveric biomechanical analysis. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare three interbody cage shapes and their position within the interbody space with regards to construct stability for transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. METHODS Twenty L2-L3 and L4-L5 lumbar motion segments from fresh cadavers were potted in polymethyl methacrylate and subjected to testing with a ...
متن کاملStability After Anterior Lumbar Fusion with Interbody Cages: A Radiostereometric Evaluation
Background: Interbody cage stabilization as a stand-alone procedure in lumbar spine fusion is questioned due to inconsistent mechanical effects registered in human cadaveric studies. Even segmental mobility exceeding the normal range of motion is described after cage implantation. For the anterior interbody cage fusion, this potential, undesired destabilization is explained by the resection of ...
