Sarcopenia as a predictor of cage subsidence following stand-alone oblique lumbar interbody fusion in non-osteoporotic patients [PDF]
ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify predictors of cage subsidence following stand-alone oblique interbody fusion (SA-OLIF) in non-osteoporotic patients.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 98 patients who underwent SA-OLIF.

Pseudarthrosis following transforaminal interbody fusion (TLIF) is not infrequent. Although cage migration and subsidence are commonly regarded as evidence of the absence of solid fusion, there is still no evidence of the influence of cage migration and ...

Predictors of Cage Subsidence After Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion. [PDF]
Background/Objective: Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) achieves indirect decompression through restoration of disc height. Because maintenance of the restored disc space is essential for sustained neural decompression, solid fusion without cage subsidence is a key determinant of successful surgical outcomes.

Ligamentotaxis Effect of Lateral Lumber Interbody Fusion and Cage Subsidence. [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) has gained popularity as an effective technique for indirect decompression through ligamentotaxis. Despite the perceived importance of using appropriately sized cages for achieving optimal decompression, comprehensive reports on cage size and its impact on indirect decompression are limited.

Factors associated with intervertebral cage subsidence in posterior lumbar fusion [PDF]
Background The interbody fusion apparatus is a key component of the operation and plays a key role in the postoperative efficacy. Cage subsidence is one of the common complications after lumbar fusion and internal fixation.

Is the Size of the Transforaminal Lumbar Cage a Risk Factor for Cage Subsidence? A Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]
Abstract Cage subsidence is a common complication after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), leading to gradual loss of disc height and foraminal restenosis. The effect of cage size on early postoperative cage subsidence has barely been investigated.

Subsidence of Stand-Alone Cervical Carbon Fiber Cages. [PDF]
AbstractOBJECTIVE:To investigate the number of subsidences of inserted cervical carbon fiber cages and to define predictive factors for subsidence.METHODS:All patients treated for a cervical herniated disc and fusion with a cervical carbon fiber cage between January 2002 and December 2003 were retrospectively identified.

Cage Subsidence after Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Using a Cage Alone or Combined with Anterior Plate Fixation [PDF]
Purpose. To compare the extent of cage subsidence after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) using a cage alone or combined with anterior plate fixation, and to assess the effect of end plate removal on cage subsidence. Methods.

A case of transvertebral anterior cervical foraminotomy for radiculopathy caused by cage subsidence. [PDF]
Background: Cage subsidence is a complication of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Here, we present a case in which radiculopathy caused by cage subsidence was improved by transvertebral anterior cervical foraminotomy (TVACF).
