Force-limited distance-measurable nerve root retractor plus intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring reduces L5 radiculitis in posterior lumbar interbody fusion
FLDM-NRR combined with IONM significantly reduces early L5 radiculitis after PLIF and provides short-term functional benefits. Long-term neuroprotection remains unproven and requires validation in prospective randomized trials.
