Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Technical Note
نویسندگان
چکیده
Minimally invasive techniques for lumbar interbody fusion have become increasingly popular recently. A limitation of these procedures is the restricted field of view, which requires a thorough understanding of the three-dimensional spinal landmarks and appropriate technical skills. We outline the operative steps used in said cases and provide illustrative video and figures.
