Three-dimensional analysis of interbody cage-apophyseal ring contact to predict endplate subsidence following transforaminal interbody fusion
The risk of subsidence in TLIF patients can be mitigated by ensuring that at least half of the interbody cage surface area is in contact with the peripheral endplate rim, particularly at the endplate superior to the cage.
