Rockenfeller, A. K. Aiyangar, A. K. Aiyangar, A. K. Aiyangar, A. K. Aiyangar, K. Gruber, F. Ringel, S. R. Kantelhardt

“…Subsequently, we performed virtual unilateral and bilateral interlaminar fenestration (uILF, bILF) and laminectomy (LAM) by removing the respective ligaments in each model. Afterward, the standardized flexion movement was simulated again for each case and decompression method, allowing us to compare the outcomes with the reference. …”
