Lumbar Interbody Fusion and Osteobiologics for Lumbar Fusion
Asian Spine Journal, 2022 Lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) is an excellent treatment option for a number of lumbar diseases. LIF can be performed through posterior, transforaminal, anterior, and lateral or oblique approaches. Each technique has its own pearls and pitfalls. Through LIF, segmental stabilization, neural decompression, and deformity correction can be achieved ...

Lumbar position sense with extreme lumbar angle [PDF]
Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2009 Tasks involving flexed torso postures have a high incidence of low back injuries. Changes in the ability to sense and adequately control low back motion may play a role in these injuries. Previous studies examining position sense errors of the lumbar spine with torso flexion found significant increases in error with flexion.
