DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2020.01.134
Abstract: BACKGROUND All interbody fusions are associated with a risk of subsidence. In the case of lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), an interbody device that spans the apophyseal rings reduces subsidence. Small interbody device size, aggressive… read more here.
