  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»
