Radiographic Evaluation of MI-TLIF Procedures Utilizing Novel Allograft Growth Factor
Author(s): Samuel Joseph* and Lauren Edge
Introduction: Minimally-invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion offers a conservative surgical option designed to reduce complications.
A novel allograft growth factor including multiple factors associated with bone remodeling is utilized and independently assessed for efficacy in
supporting fusion.
Case presentation: To evaluate post-surgical follow-up radiology for fusion status of MI-TLIF levels implementing novel allograft growth factor to
support bony remodeling
Methods: A fellowship trained orthopedic surgeon collected 102 consecutive studies and was granted a waiver by an Institutional Review Board
for retrospective assessment of post-surgical radiology to follow state of fusion.
Results: At three months, 72 of 104 (69.2%) levels assessed were deemed to be fused, .. Read More»
