Intersegmental and overall range of motion (ROM) of LLIF constructs with SLC, LPC, LC + BPSR and LC + UPSR. a, L2/3 ROM; b, L3/4 ROM; c, L4/5 ROM; d, overall ROM. Flex = flexion; Ext = extension; LB = left bending; RB = right bending; LR = left rotation; RR = right rotation. SLC = stand-alone lateral cages (SLC); LPC = lateral cages with plate and screws; LC + BPSR = lateral cage with bilateral pedicle screws and rods; LC + UPSR = lateral cages with unilateral pedicle screw and rod fixation
