Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) surgery: A finite element analysis of open and minimally invasive approach on L4-L5 segment
The open and MI-TLIF approaches are effective in reducing ROMs. However, the higher stress and strain on the L4-L5 segment indicate the chances of bone failure. The higher stress and strain on the adjacent segment soft structures indicate the potential risk of ASD in both models. However, considering the lower intrusive nature of the MI-TLIF technique, it might be favoured over Open TLIF.
