Study Design: This retrospective study compared unilateral pedicle screw combined with contralateral translaminar facet joint screw (UPS+TFS) fixation with bilateral pedicle screw (BPS) fixation in patients undergoing minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for single-segment lumbar degenerative disease.
Objective: To assess the long-term clinical efficacy of UPS+TFS fixation and BPS fixation in MIS-TLIF.
Summary Of Background Data: Limited research exists on the long-term clinical outcomes of UPS+TFS fixation in MIS-TLIF.
Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to investigate the causal links between plasma proteins and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), as IVDD affects disability and quality of life globally.
- - Using data from an Icelandic population and the FinnGen consortium, researchers found a significant causal association between 47 specific plasma proteins and IVDD, with particular proteins like myoneurin showing strong correlations.
- - The findings highlight that these plasma proteins could serve as valuable biomarkers for predicting IVDD risk, enhancing our understanding of the disease's mechanisms and potential treatment targets.
Background: The fusion rate, clinical efficacy, and complications of minimally invasive fusion surgery and open fusion surgery in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease are still unclear.
Methods: We conducted a literature search using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and WANFANG databases.
Results: This study included 38 retrospective studies involving 3097 patients.
Background: The optimal treatment modality for upper lumbar disc herniation remains unclear. Herein, we compared the clinical efficacy and application value of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for upper lumbar disc herniation. We aimed to provide new evidence to guide surgical decisions for treating this condition.

This meta-analysis aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of OLIF and PLIF for the treatment of LDDs.
Methods: A comprehensive assessment of the literature was conducted, and the quality of retrieved studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.
