Filter by:This is a multicenter, prospective cohort study. The osteoporotic patients requiring posterior lumbar interbody fusion(LIF) with cages are prospectively enrolled and followed up. The patients undergoing LIF with the biomechanical-matched 3D-printed titanium cages (Osteo Match) are compared with those using routine PEEK cages. The hypothesis is that the use of Osteo Match cages can reduce the rate of cage subsidence and increase the rate of lumbar fusion in osteoporotic patients.
To identify the optimal imaging modality involved in decision making in patients with degenerative lumbar spine using CT vs. MRI.
Being confronted more and more with obese as well as older patients, minimally invasive surgery is said to keep the surgical trauma low. The prospective long-term evaluation is the continuous monitoring of patients undergoing lumbar minimally invasive fusion surgery and analyzing the effect of body mass index (BMI) and wound healing.
The study concerns a retrospective analysis of all subjects operated as of 1st Jan 2008 using Minimal Access Surgical Technique (MAST). The study is descriptive in nature and will present the observation of all cumulated patients operated with MAST. The study data will include the general health information of the subjects prior to surgery, information on the surgery such as OP time, blood loss, and the postoperative wound healing process (until discharge), which is on average the 10th postoperative day.
