Comparison of clinical efficacy of modified transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (M-TLIF) and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with bone cement-reinforced pedicle screws for osteoporosis combined with lumbar degenerative disease
Both M-TLIF and PLIF effectively improved the clinical symptoms and radiographic parameters of these patients, with equivalent clinical efficacy in relieving pain and restoring function. The choice of procedure can be individualized: M-TLIF is preferred when superior interbody fusion is the priority, while PLIF is more suitable for achieving greater segmental lordosis.
