Radiological evaluation of fusion patterns after Lateral Lumbar Interbody fusion with 3D-printed porous titanium cages vs. conventional titanium cages

IntroductionThe assessment of segmental fusion after Lateral Lumbar Interbody fusion (LLIF) using 3D-printed porous titanium cage is still not well studied. Various criteria, such as the presence of bone bridges (BB) between adjacent vertebrae, serve as indicators for anterior fusion. However, limit...
