Expandable Cage in Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Comparative Data with Static Cage from a Single Institution and a Single Surgeon
Expandable cages in MIS-TLIF demonstrated superior disc height restoration compared to static cages, which were maintained throughout a 1-year follow-up period despite the relatively higher subsidence rate. No significant differences were observed in terms of lordotic angle restoration, clinical outcomes, or fusion rates.
