Lumbar Interbody Fusion: A Comparison between Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion and Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Technique

Advances in Human Biology
Introduction: Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) for degenerative spondylolisthesis usually entails sacrificing one or both of the facet joints when approached posteriorly.

Are Ceramic Cages an Option for Lumbar Interbody Fusion? A Comparative Biomechanical Numerical Study. [PDF]

JOR Spine
ABSTRACT Background The treatment of severe disc pathologies through lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) involves the insertion of an interbody cage into the degenerated disc space, together with a supporting fixation system. Conventional cage materials, such as Ti6Al4V and PEEK, present several limitations, most notably their non‐biodegradability ...

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 ...

Comparison of PLIF/TLIF and LLIF for two-level degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2023
Introduction: In recent years, lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), performed as extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) and oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF), has also become widely used for anterior-posterior corrective fusion.

Staged Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion Targeting Driver and Compensatory Structural Segments for Adult Degenerative Scoliosis: A Novel Strategy and Early Outcomes. [PDF]

Orthop Surg
Targeting driver and structural vertebrae via LLIF is an effective, minimally invasive strategy for ADS. It offers substantial deformity correction, symptom relief, and progressive postoperative self‐correction while significantly reducing surgical trauma compared to traditional long‐segment fusions.

Mini-Open Versus Open Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion in Patients Aged ≥ 75 Years: Perioperative Surgical Burden and Clinical Outcomes. [PDF]

Orthop Surg
In 172 patients aged ≥ 75 years undergoing TLIF, mini‐open TLIF (MO‐TLIF) reduced perioperative burden (shorter operative time, less blood loss, lower POD3 CK) and enabled faster early pain/function recovery versus open TLIF, while 3–6 month PROMs and 12‐month fusion and satisfaction were comparable.
