Safety and performance of a novel articulating cage for transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion in the setting of intraoperative spinal navigation

摘要

Objective: Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) has been described as safe and effective procedure for the treatment of low back pain. However, only a few retrospective articles describing articulating cages exist in literature. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological results, as well as patient safety and complications by using a novel articulating TLIF cage.
