To explore the value of high resolution computed tomography(HRCT) combined with Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) in the diagnosis of inner ear malformation. HRCT and MRI data of 82 patients with inner ear malformations were analyzed retrospectively. HRCT MPR and CPR reconstruction of the inner ear structure, facial nerve canal and oblique sagittal MRI reconstruction of the internal auditory canal were performed.

An OLIF Cage Integrated with a Low-Profile Plate and Cross Screws Could Reduce the Risk of Postoperative Complications Biomechanically.

Ann Biomed Eng

December 2024

Luzhou Key Laboratory of Orthopedic Disorders, Department of Orthopedics, The Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Southwest Medical University, No. 182, Chunhui Road, Longmatan District, Luzhou, 646000, Sichuan, P.R. China.

Article Synopsis
  • Stand-alone oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) has stability issues post-surgery, prompting the use of additional fixation devices (AFDs) like anterior lateral single rod (ALSR) fixation, which come with potential complications.
  • Researchers developed a new OLIF cage with a low-profile plate and cross screw (LPCS) to enhance stability without requiring changes in body position or extra incisions during surgery.
  • Testing showed that the LPCS OLIF cage significantly outperformed ALSR fixation in terms of bending and pullout strength, with LPCS models demonstrating a much higher resistance to failure, particularly beneficial for patients with osteoporotic bone density.

Objectives: Cage subsidence is a common complication of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF), particularly in elderly patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia. While bilateral pedicle screw fixation (BPS) is effective in reducing subsidence, it is associated with longer operative times, increased blood loss, and greater tissue trauma. In contrast, anterolateral fixation (AF) is less invasive but linked to higher subsidence rates.
