Comparison of Modified Oblique Lateral Interbody Fusion and Posterior‐Only Approach in the Treatment of Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis

Minimally invasive multi-level OLIF with posterior fixation through Wiltse approach, as compared to the conventional posterior approach, has fewer fixation segments, offers comparable radiographic outcomes and, more importantly, superior clinical results. In addition, patients with a preoperative SVA > 50 mm could benefit from more fixation levels to maintain sagittal balance.

Abstract

Minimally invasive multi-level OLIF with posterior fixation through Wiltse approach, as compared to the conventional posterior approach, has fewer fixation segments, offers comparable radiographic outcomes and, more importantly, superior clinical results. In addition, patients with a preoperative SVA > 50 mm could benefit from more fixation levels to maintain sagittal balance.
