Article Synopsis
- Oblique lumbar intervertebral fusion is a surgical method to relieve nerve pressure and involves using an interbody fusion cage, but the best surgical approach is still uncertain.
- A biomechanical model was created to evaluate how different patient conditions and implant choices affect spinal alignment, nerve decompression, and the risk of cage sinking into the bone.
- Results showed that using larger cages (14 mm) improved spinal dimensions significantly, while bilateral pedicle screw fixation reduced endplate stress, especially in patients with weak bones.
