Abstract
A variety of implants are used in Anterior-To-Psoas OLIF, with different cage materials and fixation strategies depending on patient characteristics, surgeon preferences, and surgical goals. Common materials include titanium and PEEK. Cages can be used in a stand-alone fashion or with supplemental fixation. However, there is no consensus on the optimal cage material or fixation technique. Options for fixation include embedded cage screws, posterior pedicle screws, and less common methods such as anterolateral screws and cortical bone trajectory screws. Recent advancements also include expandable cages and disc replacement.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Spine Surgery is a continuing source of current, clinical information for practicing surgeons. Under the direction of a specially selected guest editor, each issue addresses a single topic in the management and care of patients. Topics covered in each issue include basic anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, management options and follow-up of the condition under consideration. The journal also features "Spinescope," a special section providing summaries of articles from other journals that are of relevance to the understanding of ongoing research related to the treatment of spinal disorders.
