From: Comparing oblique lumbar interbody fusion with lateral screw fixation and percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy (OLIF-PETD) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation complicated with lumbar instability

Fig. 8

A 68-year-old male patient in the OLIF + PETD group was diagnosed with L4-5 lumbar disc herniation and lumbar instability. A Preoperative lumbar hyperextension and flexion radiographs showed lumbar instability. B Lumbar lateral X-ray 7 days after operation. C Lateral lumbar X-ray 16 months after surgery. D Lumbar CT at the last follow-up showed a completely continuous trabecular bone connecting the upper and lower endplates of the vertebral body in or outside the fusion cage (BSF-3)
