Does minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) influence functional outcomes and spinopelvic parameters in isthmic spondylolisthesis?

Purpose: We assessed the efficacy of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) in patients with low-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis.

Methods: We included 24 symptomatic patients who underwent MIS-TLIF between December 2017 and December 2020. Patients were followed up clinically by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for back and VAS for leg pain, as well as radiological radiographs after 6 weeks, 6 months, and at final follow-up (at least 12 months).

The Ponseti technique is successful in idiopathic clubfoot management. However, the leading cause of relapse and recurrence is nonadherence to the Denis Brown bracing protocol. This necessitates more extensive soft tissue surgeries.

Vascular injury in tubular lumbar microdiscectomy, case report and literature review.

Vascular injury in lumbar disk disease is a common complication reviewed in the literature. In our study, we reviewed the rare complication of vascular injury that occurs during lumbar microscopic tubular discectomy. The patient is a 46-year-old male, diabetic, hypertensive and a smoker who presented with a history of backache and right-sided radiculopathy to S1 dermatome for 6 weeks.
