| Core Tip |
Oblique and lateral lumbar interbody fusions indirectly decompress the spinal canal and foramina providing surgeons minimally invasive techniques for a multitude of spinal pathologies. It allows for restoration of foraminal height, disc height, central canal squared via unbuckling the ligamentum flavum. However, limitations to indirect decompression such as bony foraminal stenosis, severe central canal stenosis and osteoporosis put patients at risk of poor outcomes due to inadequate decompression and potentially requiring additional direct decompressive procedures. |
