Retrospective comparison of cortical bone trajectory and pedicle screw in lumbar fusion for patients over 80, including sagittal balance: a single-center study
Despite these limitations, our study findings indicate that cortical bone trajectory is not inferior to posterior lumbar interbody fusion with pedicle screw fixation if there is a need for fusion in older patients aged ≥ 80 years.
