Topping-off surgery vs posterior lumbar interbody fusion for degenerative lumbar disease: a finite element analysis
2019-11-15
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Adjacent segment disease (ASD) is a common complication after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). Recently, a topping-off surgery (non-fusion with Coflex) has been developed to reduce the risk of ASD, yet whether and how the topping-off surgery can relieve ASD remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the biomechanical effect of PLIF and Coflex on the adjacent segments v...
