Lateral lumbar interbody fusion(LLIF), including extreme lateral interbody fusion(XLIF) and oblique lateral interbody fusion(OLIF), constitute a treatment option for many lumbar disorders that predominantly cause degenerative disc disease. LLIF is beneficial for managing conditions, such as lumbar spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, and adult spinal deformities. LLIF is preferred for enabling indirect decompression of the spinal canal and nerve root foramen, without inducing immediate postoperative damage to the peri-vertebral tissues.

Objective: Surgical treatments for degenerative lumbar spinal disorders involve decompression of neural structures and arthrodesis to address pain from unstable intervertebral segments. Lumbar instrumented facet fusion (IFF), a less invasive technique, has shown positive short-term outcomes, but reports on its long-term outcomes are scarce. This study aims to report its long-term biomechanical stability and clinical outcomes.

Background: Medically refractory hypertonia (MRH) within the pediatric population causes severe disability and is difficult to treat. Neurosurgery for mixed MRH includes intrathecal baclofen (ITB) and lumbosacral ventral-dorsal rhizotomy (VDR). Surgical efficacy limitations can be mitigated by combining the two into a multimodal strategy.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Fascial Manipulation in patients with disc herniations of the lumbar spine confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. This study included 69 patients with intervertebral disc damage of the lumbar spine, as confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Patients were divided into two groups: a study group and a control group.

Introduction: the tendency in the rehabilitation is to train specifically to the lumbopelvic girdle muscles, to give stability and segmentary control of the same.
Objective: to evaluate the isokinetic lumbopelvic in the patient's functional qualities with a dynamic instrumentation system (Accuflex).
Material And Methods: post-operated patients of spinal stenosis by means of dynamic liberation and fixation (Accuflex).
