Objective: To evaluate the clinical effects of the posterior unilateral approach with 270° spinal canal decompression and three-column reconstruction using double titanium mesh cage (TMC) for thoracic and lumbar burst fractures.
Materials And Methods: From May 2013 to May 2018, 27 patients with single-level thoracic and lumbar burst fractures were enrolled. Every patient was followed for at least 18 months.
Article Synopsis
- - This study compares the surgical and patient-reported outcomes of two techniques for treating lumbar spinal stenosis: percutaneous endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion (PE-LIF) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF).
- - A total of 89 patients were analyzed, showing that while PE-LIF had a longer operative time and greater fluoroscopy time, it resulted in lower blood loss and shorter bed rest compared to MIS-TLIF, with both methods leading to significant improvements in pain and disability scores.
- - There were no significant differences in hospital stay length, intervertebral fusion rates, or postoperative complications between the two groups, indicating both techniques are effective with similar outcomes.
