Fusion after minimally disruptive anterior lumbar interbody fusion: Analysis of extreme lateral interbody fusion by computed tomography
BACKGROUND Less invasive fusion approaches, such as extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF), have proliferated, but few reports have critically assessed fusion rates. To date, no studies have reported computed tomography (CT) documented fusion rates following XLIF. METHODS An institutional review board-approved prospective radiographic and CT assessment of minimally disruptive anterior lumbar...
متن کاملExtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF): a novel surgical technique for anterior lumbar interbody fusion.
BACKGROUND Minimally disruptive approaches to the anterior lumbar spine continue to evolve in a quest to reduce approach-related morbidity. A lateral retroperitoneal, trans-psoas approach to the anterior disc space allows for complete discectomy, distraction, and interbody fusion without the need for an approach surgeon. PURPOSE To demonstrate the feasibility of a minimally disruptive lateral...
متن کاملLateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion
The lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) is a relatively new technique that allows the surgeon to access the intervertebral space from a direct lateral approach either anterior to or through the psoas muscle. This approach provides an alternative to anterior lumbar interbody fusion with instrumentation, posterior lumbar interbody fusion, and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for anterior...
متن کاملAnterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion
Historical Background Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) was first used AQ1 in the treatment of tuberculosis and lumbar spondylolis-thesis. 1−3 Although described by Capener 4 in 1932 as the " ideal'' operation for spondylolisthesis, he further elaborated that " the technical difficulties of such procedure, however, preclude their trial.'' This statement was soon to be proven wrong by nume...
متن کاملMorphological analysis of interbody fusion following posterior lumbar interbody fusion with cages using computed tomography
Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) using cages in conjunction with pedicle screw fixation is considered the gold standard for surgical treatment of degenerative lumbar spine disorders due to its biomechanical stability and high fusion rate. However, research regarding patterns of fusion in the interbody space during the early postoperative period is lacking.Sixty consecutive patients were...
