Abstract
PURPOSE: To assess clinical and radiological outcomes at 2-year follow-up of one-level minimally invasive transforaminal interbody fusion with unilateral pedicle screw fixation (UNILIF) in the treatment of stable lumbar degenerative diseases. METHODS: From January 1, 2012 to January 31, 2013, we prospectively collected clinical and radiological data on patients with stable degenerative lumbar disease managed by UNILIF in a single institution. Preoperatively and at 2 years, we recorded ODI, SF-12, Quebec and VAS. Interbody fusion was analyzed on radiography and on a CT scan, and sagittal balance was tested on full spine radiography. RESULTS: Mean operation time was 74.5 min ± 16.8, mean blood loss was 130.8 ml ± 210.9. At 2 years, ODI, SF-12, Quebec and VAS were significantly improved (p > 0.005).The fusion rate was 96.8% on radiographic analysis and was 87.9% on CT scan analysis. CONCLUSIONS: One-level UNILIF constitutes an effective alternative for management of stable lumbar degenerative diseases. These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
