Utilization of L5-S1 interbody cage in adult spinal deformity patients undergoing lumbar spinal osteotomies and spinopelvic fixation: A retrospective comparative study.

Background: Adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgeries often face complications, such as pseudoarthrosis and rod fractures (RFs), particularly at the lumbosacral junction. While transforaminal lumbosacral interbody fusion (TLIF) at L5-S1 is thought to improve outcomes, its efficacy in major ASD surgeries remains unclear. This study aims to compare clinical and radiological outcomes and implant complications in patients undergoing spinopelvic fixation with or without L5-S1 TLIF.
