Objective: With the latest advances and innovations in field of spine surgery, new generation surgeons has been increasingly preferring endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion technique to treat pathology degenerative disease. The aim this study was elucidate clinical radiologic outcomes biportal with a long polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cage.Methods: This included 40 patients treated by PEEK cage bet...

BACKGROUND Driving has been associated with signs and symptoms caused by vibrations. Sitting causes the pelvis to rotate backwards and the lumbar lordosis to reduce. Lumbar support and armrests reduce disc pressure and electromyographically recorded values. However, the ideal driver's seat and an optimal seated spinal model have not been described. OBJECTIVE To determine an optimal automobile...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to define an algorithm that will predict the success of indirect decompression without the need for direct decompression in patients undergoing lateral lumbar interbody fusions. METHODS AND MATERIALS A prospective cohort study was undertaken for patients undergoing indirect decompression with lateral lumbar interbody fusion. Patients had to meet the follow...

Study Design Retrospective review. Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the radiographic impact of a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) versus a cantilever TLIF technique on segmental lordosis, segmental coronal alignment, and disk height. Methods A retrospective review was done of all patients undergoing TLIF procedures from 2006 to 2011 by three spine surgeons. Trad...
