Area of Science:

  • Spine surgery
  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery

Context:

  • Evolution of posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) techniques.
  • Introduction of titanium cages and autologous bone grafting.
  • Established surgical protocols since 1992.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the clinical outcomes and fusion rates of PLIF using titanium cages and autologous bone.
  • To assess patient satisfaction using the Prolo Functional Economic Outcome Rating Scale.
  • To determine the efficacy of this surgical approach in lumbar fusion.

Summary:

  • A study of 52 patients undergoing PLIF with titanium cages and autologous bone.
  • Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 4.5 years.
  • Achieved a 92% satisfactory outcome rate and high fusion percentages, despite challenges in radiographic evaluation due to cage artifacts.
