Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study.
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine if the degree of interbody cage lordosis and cage positioning are associated with changes in postoperative sagittal alignment after single-level transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).
Summary Of Background Data: Ideal sagittal alignment and lumbopelvic alignment have been shown to correlate with postoperative clinical outcomes.
Objective: To examine the effect of static versus expandable polyether ether ketone (PEEK) cages on both clinical and radiographic outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients who underwent one-level transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion with either a static or expandable PEEK cage. Patient outcomes were obtained from chart review and radiographic outcomes were measured using standing, lateral radiographs.

- However, notable age-related differences appeared in regions tied to emotional processing and cognitive control, indicating that how individuals judge themselves can vary depending on whether they also judge others.
