Simulation of the surgical procedure of L2-L5 LLIF. a, b: The surgical procedure was simulated as partial resection of lateral AF, removal of whole NP and cartilaginous endplate. c-j: anterior-posterior and lateral view of 4 patterns of instrumented model. c, g: 3 stand-alone lateral cages (SLC); d, h: 3 lateral cages with plate and screws(LPC); e, i: 3 lateral cages with bilateral pedicle screws and rods (LC + BPSR); f, j: 3 lateral cages with unilateral PSR system (UPSR)
