XLIF is recommended for thoracic lumbar spinal conditions located at above L5-S1 that requires a fusion and can be accessed from the side of the body. What Conditions Can XLIF Surgery Treat? XLIF Can Treat: Lumbar degenerative disc diseases Low-grade spondylolisthesis Degenerative scoliosis Spinal ...
A Preoperative C-arm positioning in a patient at the L5/S1 segment; B, C C-arm fluoroscopic view of a patient with L5/S1 disc herniation after implantation of screws and nail rods; D Intraoperative exploration showing nerve root relaxation; E, F Cage implantation in the target vertebral spac...
Client worked as a carpenter and injured his L4-5 and L5-S1 discs from repetitive heavy lifting. We made several demands for treatment. We obtained an opinion from a neurosurgeon and an orthopedic surgeon that back surgery was necessary. The employer refused treatment so our client had surgery...
These are the main reasons for the failure of OLIF to be applied to the L5–S1 segment. After the rupture of the iliac vein case, to solve the problem of how to place the OLIF corridor in the L5–S1 segment safely, we proposed a method to determine a safe corridor through the ...
Those without recovery were 42 and 56 years. No patient with L4-L5 fusion experienced the dysfunction. Relatively elder patients who undergo L5-S1 fusion, especially two-level fusion including L5-S1 level seem to have higher risk of postoperative sexual dysfunction than others. 展开 关键词: ...
L4-L5 level was operated in 14 subjects, L5-S1 in 7 subjects; L3-L4 and double level was fixed in 1 patient each. L4-L5 degenerative listhesis was the most common indication (n = 12). Average operative time was 3 h. Fourteen patients had excellent results, a good result in 5 ...
L5-S1 18 (32%) 8 (14) 10 (18%) 3.2. Learning Curve and Clinical Outcome The operative time decreased as the number of cases increased. Using a nonparametric regression locally weighted scatterplot smoothing curve, the slope of operative time flattened after the 34th case and 400th day afte...
Fusion located in L1 ~ 2in 1 cases,L2 ~ 3in 2 cases,L3 ~ 4in 3 cases,L4 ~ 5in19 cases,L5S1 in 9 cases. Operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative drainage were analyzed between two groups.The clinical outcomes of 2 groups were assessed by visual analog scale( VAS) ...
Alar or transforaminal sacral fractures are more likely to displace than sacral fractures medial to L5-S1 facet joint, which are constrained by the disk and facet joint capsule. • Nerve root injury correlated with location of fracture in relation to sacral foramina. • Denis classification: In...
The patient underwent revision surgery ~3.3 years after index surgery and had also undergone L5–S1 lumbar decompression with interbody fusion and pedicle screw instrumentation for lum- bar pain. Fifth patient was injured in a motor vehicle accident (T-bone mechanism) ~9 months post...
