Meanings of interbody fusion in English

Anterior interbody fusion methods included bone grafting with plate fixation or cage.

Posterolateral fusion or anterior lumbar interbody fusion was done for internal disc disruption.

Summary of background data: Studies using rhBMP for enhancement of anterior interbody fusion have used numerous endpoints.

Conclusions: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion with SynCage and additional posterior fixation is a safe and effective procedure.

Flexion-extension and load-to-failure testing were performed on two single-level discectomy and interbody fusion constructs from each specimen.

Methods: Patients selected for a minimal invasive posterior lumbar interbody fusion received a spiral computer tomographic scan before surgery.

There was a higher risk of neurologic complications in revision cases and in cases in which interbody fusion was required.

Materials and methods: We performed a systematic search of web-based electronic databases to identify articles on endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion.

Anterior cervical discectomy and vertebral interbody fusion is a widely used technique in the treatment of radicular or cord compression.

Objective: Define the anatomic variations and the risk factors for such within the operative corridor of the transpsoas lateral interbody fusion.

Selection criteria: Randomised comparative studies that compared anterior cervical decompression and interbody fusion techniques for participants with chronic degenerative disc disease.

It was designed as a prospective study, comparing the outcome of two methods of instrumented interbody fusion for internal disc disruption.

The Hartshill Horseshoe cage is a titanium implant that is inserted after removal of the disc in anterior lumbar interbody fusion.

Summary of background data: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion can be a good alternative in chronic low back pain when conservative treatment fails.

The authors recommend the use of unilateral fixation in lumbar interbody fusion with 1 cage for lumbar degenerative diseases without major instability.

The authors consider instrumented circumferential fusion with posterior lumbar interbody fusion better than instrumented posterolateral fusion for managing chronic disabling low back pain.
