Longitudinal analysis of radiological parameters after monosegmental lumbar instrumentation and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) compared with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF)
We were unable to find significant difference of the sagittal profile after a monosegmental instrumentation and fusion in the lumbar spine. However, the PLIF procedure seems to be superior with regards of lordosis restoration. The L4/5 segment also seems to have a greater potential for correction the L5/S1 segment in the long term.
