Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for failed Graf ligamentoplasty: a report of two cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report 2 cases of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for failed Graf ligamentoplasty. Both patients had residual or recurrent low back pain and leg pain after Graf ligamentoplasty, caused by lumbar segmental instability or narrowing of their intervertebral foramens. The pain improved markedly after the revision surgery. We recommend transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for failed Graf ligamentoplasty, as it provides rigid interbody bony fusion and obviates complete exposure of the dural sac or dural tube.

In a prospective observational study we compared the two-year outcome of lumbar fusion by a simple technique using translaminar screws (n = 57) with a more extensive method using transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and pedicular screw fixation (n = 63) in consecutive patients with degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Outcome was assessed using the validated multidimensional Core Outcome...
