Muscle damage in oblique lumbar interbody fusion and unilateral biportal endoscopic-transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for single-level lumbar degeneration diseases: retrospective cohort study
With OLIF there were lower creatine kinase levels, less blood loss, and less damage to paraspinal muscles. Therefore, in cases where both procedures are equally appropriate, OLIF is safer and less damaging to muscles and is the first choice for patients.
