Background:The combination of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) and spinal endoscopy presents a promising minimally invasive approach for treating degenerative lumbar diseases, leveraging the strengths of both techniques to optimize clinical outcomes. We term this combined technique Endo-OLIF (endoscopy-assisted oblique lumbar interbody fusion). Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the early clinical efficacy and technical nuances of Endo-OLIF in the management of degenerative lumbar conditions. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 29 patients who underwent Endo-OLIF for degenerative lumbar diseases at our institution between February 2022 and November 2023. Inclusion criteria specified treatment of no more than two contiguous levels between L2 and L5. Patients with left-sided disc herniation or predominant left-sided stenosis were excluded due to technical considerations of the endoscopic working trajectory. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for functional disability. The mean follow-up duration was 15.6 months (range 12-22 months). Results:All procedures were successfully completed without intraoperative complications such as nerve root injury or dural sac injury. Postoperatively, two patients (6.9%) experienced transient ipsilateral thigh numbness or hip flexion weakness, which we attribute to intraoperative retraction and blunt stimulation of the lumbar plexus; both resolved completely within 6 weeks without specific intervention. Postoperative imaging confirmed satisfactory interbody fusion and complete removal of herniated disc material. Significant improvements in VAS and ODI scores were observed at 3 months postoperatively and maintained at final follow-up (mean 15.6 months) (P < 0.05 for all comparisons). The mean VAS scores for back pain improved from 7.1 ± 1.3 preoperatively to 1.6 ± 0.7 at final follow-up; leg pain VAS improved from 6.3 ± 1.2 to 1.3 ± 0.5; ODI improved from 66.8 ± 9.7 to 12.6 ± 7.1. Patients reported high satisfaction levels, short recovery times, and no serious postoperative complications. Conclusion:Endo-OLIF capitalizes on the advantages of both minimally invasive approaches: OLIF preserves the posterior ligamentous complex and avoids nerve root irritation, while spinal endoscopy allows direct decompression by removing herniated disc material. This combined approach demonstrates favorable short-term outcomes with significant improvements in pain and functional disability scores. However, long-term efficacy requires further follow-up studies.
This study aimed to compare hidden blood loss (HBL) in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair based on the degree of rotator cuff fatty infiltration, and to determine whether fatty infiltration is associated with increased HBL and other risk factors. A retrospective analysis included 141 patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair between January 2023 and March 2025. Patients were grouped by rotator cuff fatty infiltration severity (Grades 0–4). Demographics and blood parameters were recorded. Visible blood loss was quantified, and hidden blood loss (HBL) was calculated using preoperative hematocrit (Hctpre) and postoperative hematocrit (Hctpost) to assess total blood loss. Relationships with HBL were analyzed using Pearson/Spearman correlation, Mann-Whitney U test, and multivariate linear regression to identify independent risk factors. Multivariate linear regression analysis identified the following independent risk factors for HBL: Hctpost (β = -482.318. 95
Objective:The aim of this study was to describe the surgical technique of endoscopy-assisted anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), to evaluate the advantages, efficacy, and safety of this procedure for the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Methods:The clinical data of patients with CSM treated with endoscopy-assisted ACDF from January 2023 to December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. And 35 patients, including 13 females and 22 males, were included in this study. Endoscopic assisted ACDF surgery was described step by step in detail, and clinical and imageological assessment were performed before and after operation and follow-up. Results:All 35 patients underwent endoscopy-assisted ACDF surgery successfully, and were followed up for 12.9 ± 2.1 months (range 9∼18 months). The operation time was 74.4 ± 10.7 min (range 60∼100 min). Postoperative drainage volume was 14.1 ± 5.8 mL (range 5∼25 mL). No complications were observed. There were no complications, aggravation of neurological symptoms after operation, and the JOA score at the last follow-up was significantly improved compared with that before operation (15.7 ± 0.8 vs. 10.3 ± 1.9, P < 0.001). At the last follow-up, the C2-C7 Cobb angle was significantly higher than that before operation (P < 0.001), and Δ Cobb angle was 7.4 ± 2.5˚, and all patients achieved bony fusion. Conclusions:Endoscopy-assisted ACDF, which combined the uniaxial spinal endoscopy with traditional ACDF, achieved satisfactory short-term clinical efficacy and safety in the treatment of CSM.
The lipoma is a common benign tumor of the subcutaneous body, and it is commonly found on the surface of the skin. But, it can also involve any tissue or organ. Intraspinal lipomas are rare, which account for less than 1% of intraspinal tumors. Among these, intramedullary lipoma is an even rarer condition, compared to extramedullary subdural or epidural types. Intraspinal tumors were removed by the open surgery in common, due to its adequate intraoperative visualization and complete resection. But for intraspinal lipomas, it does not exhibit implantation metastasis, making minimally invasive spinal endoscopic surgery considered as an option. We performed a resection of a intramedullary lipoma, and the surgery was conducted under the guidance of spinal endoscopy. Compared with open surgery, minimally invasive spinal endoscopic surgery may be more advantageous in reducing soft tissue injury and bony structure destruction, allowing patients to achieve rapid recovery. The symptoms of numbness in the left limb and unsteady gait of the patient completely disappeared after the operation. It should be noted that continuous bleeding during the operation exacerbates the complexity of the surgery. When removing lipomas, patience and meticulousness are crucial for the operation.
Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) is a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine, and the left operative window is always used to avoid the inferior vena cava (IVC). However, in cases with anatomical variations—particularly vascular anomalies, which most significantly impact surgical approaches—the right retroperitoneal approach may serve as a preferable alternative. This case report describes a 59-year-old man with lumbar instability and a rare left-sided IVC who underwent OLIF via a right approach. Preoperative imaging of this patient showed an isolated left IVC. The procedure was performed through a right-sided surgical corridor bounded medially by the abdominal aorta(AA) and laterally by the right psoas major muscle. The approach was supplemented with lateral screw-rod instrumentation to maintain stability. The patient's neurological function improved significantly after surgery, and the surgical approach proved to be feasible while maintaining biomechanical stability while avoiding vascular risk. This case highlights the importance of vascular evaluation before OLIF. Especially for the rare left-sided IVC, OLIF via right approach can effectively improve safety.
Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) has been widely used to treat lumbar spinal stenosis. However, patients with prolapsed nucleus pulposus are not suitable for this surgery. We introduce a hybrid surgical procedure combining OLIF and full-endoscopic spinal canal decompression to address this issue. During the OLIF procedure, after completing the discectomy, the endoscopic system is inserted into the intervertebral space to perform the latter half of the discectomy, remove the loose nucleus pulposus, and achieve direct decompression of the nerve root under visualization. After decompression, the free nerve root can be seen under the endoscopic view. With the assistance of endoscopy, the indications for OLIF surgery can be expanded, allowing for the treatment of cases with sciatica caused by the nucleus pulposus. Intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy can determine the direction and location of decompression under the endoscopy. All patients experienced satisfactory relief from their lumbar and leg pain after the surgery with no complications. Full-endoscopic decompression combined with oblique lumbar interbody fusion is an effective, safe surgical technique for lumbar spinal stenosis with prolapsed nucleus pulposus.
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a common cause of cervical spinal cord disease. Spinal endoscopy offers surgical advantages such as a magnified view and a water-mediated clear surgical field. This study describes an endoscope-assisted anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) procedure. The addition of spinal endoscopy to traditional ACDF surgery magnifies the surgical field and allows for more precise operations, thereby improving surgical safety. Postoperatively, patients experienced significant improvements in neurological function, with no complications such as dysphagia, hematoma, or spinal cord injury. Postoperative imaging revealed that spinal cord compression was completely relieved, with sufficient decompression of the spinal cord and optimal placement of the fusion cage. The clear visual field provided by spinal endoscopy improves the identification of cervical anatomical structures during surgery, effectively reducing the risk of injury to the spinal cord and nerves. Endoscope-assisted ACDF has demonstrated excellent clinical and radiological outcomes in the treatment of CSM.
STUDY DESIGN:To analyze the biomechanical properties of stand-alone oblique lumbar interbody fusion (SA OLIF) cage using finite element analysis. OBJECTIVE:Established the L3-5 finite element model to study the SA OLIF from the stability and the stress of the cage. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA:SA OLIF is less invasive, but whether SA OLIF is stable and increases the risk of cage subsidence remains controversial. METHOD:The L3-5 CT image data of a healthy adult male volunteer was selected. First, calculate the range of motion (ROM) of L4-5 under flexion, extension, left bending, right bending, left rotation, and right rotation.Then, the L4-5 intervertebral discs were excised, and the cage was implanted to establish a SA OLIF model. On this basis, bilateral pedicle screw (BPS) fixation was added to establish the BPS model. Analyze the ROM of L4-5 and the maximum stress of cage under all motion patterns. RESULTS:The ROM of L4-5 segments in the validation model was basically consistent with previous reports. The range of activity of BPS in each working condition was significantly lower than that of Normal and SA. Compared with BPS, Normal and SA increase by 925.9%, 1034.6%, 1107.4%, , and 1146.2% in flexion and extension, respectively. SA had higher range of activity than normal in flexion and extension, but lower in left bending, right bending, left rotation, and right rotation. The maximum stress of SA cage was greater than that of BPS under all working conditions, and increased by 363.2% and 1899.4% in flexion and extension, respectively, compared with BPS. CONCLUSIONS:SA OLIF is relatively poor in maintaining the stability of the fusion segment, and there is a higher risk of cage subsidence in the later stage.
Background: To analyze the biomechanics of Stand-alone eXtreme lateral interbody fusion (Standalone XLIF) cage using finite element analysis. Method: The L3-5 CT image data of a healthy adult male volunteer was selected to establish a normal lumbar vertebrae finite element model. Fix the lower edge of the L5, apply 500N pressure on the upper edge of the L3, and apply a torque of 7.5Nm, calculate the range of motion (ROM) of L4-5 under flexion, extension, left bending, right bending, left rotation, and right rotation.Then, the L4-5 intervertebral discs were excised, and the cage was implanted to establish a Stand-alone XLIF model. On this basis, bilateral pedicle screw fixation (BPSF) was added to establish the BPSF model. Analyze the ROM of L4-5 and the maximum stress of cage under all motion patterns. Results: The ROM of L4-5 segments in the validation model under various motion states was basically consistent with previous reports. The lumbar finite element model was validated effectively. The range of activity of BPSF in each working condition was significantly lower than that of Normal and Stand-alone. Compared with BPSF, Normal and Stand-alone increase by 925.9%,1034.6% and 1107.4%,1146.2% in flexion and extension, respectively. Stand-alone had higher range of activity than Normal in flexion and extension, but lower in left bending, right bending, left rotation and right rotation. The maximum stress of stand-alone cage was greater than that of BPSF under all working conditions, and increased by 363.2% and 1899.4% in flexion and extension respectively compared with BPSF. Conclusions: Stand-alone XLIF is poor in maintaining the stability of the fusion segment, and there is a higher risk of cage subsidence in the later stage.
Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) can result in spinal stenosis. Thoracic spinal cord compression due to spinal stenosis is a common cause of progressive thoracic myelopathy in Asian countries. The incidence of complications is high in open decompression surgeries for thoracic OLF. With dural ossification (DO), the risk of complications is even higher in thoracic OLF. We introduce a full-endoscopic decompression surgery for thoracic OLF combined with DO under local anesthesia. Hemilaminectomy is performed using a high-speed burr under the endoscopy first, and then decompression of the contralateral spinal canal is completed using an "over the top" technique. DO resection uses the eggshell technique; after the base of the DO is cut from the lamina, forceps or lamina rongeurs are typically used for removal. The dural defect left after resection does not need repair. Neurological function was improved, and no complications such as hematoma or neck pain occurred. On imaging, no pseudodural cyst, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, or wound complications were observed after the operation. Endoscopic surgery causes less damage to the posterior ligament complex, so no cases of persistent back pain complaints or secondary internal fixation requirements were found in this study. Full-endoscopic decompression can achieve good imaging and clinical effects in the treatment of thoracic OLF with DO.

Older adults, especially postmenopausal women, have a higher incidence of OP.Objective:The study intended to analyze the clinical information, epidemiological characteristics, treatments, and follow-up results of patients with osteoporotic fractures (OPFs) in adults over 65 years old, to provide data support for the prevention, treatment, and use of OPF focus groups in clinical practice.Design:The research team performed a retrospective analysis using electronic medical records and related imaging data of patients.Setting:The study took place at Hebei General Hospital in Hebei, China.Participants:Participants were 387 patients over 65 years old with osteoporotic fractures who had been admitted to the hospital between July 2012 and July 2018.Outcome Measures:The research team recorded participants' ages, genders, fracture causes, and fracture sites. The team performed a follow-up analysis on refractures, treatment with anti-osteoporotic drugs, exercise, and survival status within the 3 years after surgery.Results:The study's male-to-female ratio was 1:3.1, and the rate of osteoporotic fracture for females was significantly higher than that of males. The mean age of participants with fractures was 75.6 ± 8.5 years, and most fractures occurred in participants 78 to 85 years old. Of the 387 participants, 169 participants had hip fractures (43.67%); 98 had vertebral compression fractures (25.32%); 51 had distal radius and ulna fractures (13.18%); 42 had proximal humerus fractures (10.85%); and 27 had other fractures (6.98%). The number of women with fractures at each site was greater than the number of men, but the differences weren't statistically significant (P > .05). The main causes of injury were falls (71.58%), and the main place of the occurrence of injury was at home (65.6%). Of the 387 participants, 346 had surgical treatment (89.41%), and the effective rate of surgical treatment was 99.42%. Three years after surgery, the research team followed up with 235 participants, for a follow-up rate of 60.72%. Within the 3 years of the follow-up period, 61 participants had refractures (25.63%), 29 received treatment with regular anti-osteoporotic drugs (12.34%), 36 exercised twice or more a week (15.32%), and 32 had died for various reasons (13.62%).Conclusions:The study preliminarily described the epidemiological characteristics of 387 osteoporotic fractures in adults over 65 years old. More women had fractures than men; the hip was the most common fracture site, and falls were the main cause of injury. Most of the fractures occurred in the place of residence, and the refracture rate was 25.96% at three years after surgery.

Purpose:The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical effect of posterior lumbar fusion surgery on patients who suffer from lumbar disc herniation concurrent with peroneal nerve paralysis.Methods:The patients suffering from peroneal nerve paralysis and undergoing posterior lumbar fusion surgery between January 2012 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. The data of the identified patients were then collected and processed. All patients were followed up post-operatively after discharge from the hospital. The data was analyzed in terms of Oswestry disability index (ODI), visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and relative lower-limb muscle strength.Results:A total of 87 patients (52 males and 35 females) aged 54 ± 11 years met the inclusion criteria for this study. These patients stayed in hospital for 16 ± 6 days and were followed up for 81 ± 24 months. Data analysis showed that muscle strength of the tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum significantly recovered at the last follow-up with a grade of 3 (median), compared to grade 0 at admission (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the median VAS score decreased to 1 at the last follow-up from 6 at admission (p < 0.001), and the ODI greatly improved with 10% (median) at the last follow-up, while it was 58% at admission (p < 0.001). The ODI improvement rate was 60% on average at the last follow-up. Multivariate regression analysis regarding the ODI and muscle strength improvement rates showed that advanced age was a risk factor for postoperative recovery.Conclusions:Most of the patients suffering from lumbar disc herniation concurrent with peroneal nerve paralysis can improve after undergoing posterior lumbar fusion surgery, but few can reach full recovery. Advanced age might be a risk factor that affects the prognosis of these patients after surgery.
