| Summary: | MIS TLIF is a safe and effective technique in our
prospective clinical study of 91 patients that achieved
good to excellent clinical outcomes above the
expectations of the patient. All patients showed significant
improvements in their ODI, VAS score, and SF-36 domains
at every time point studied that was maintained up to
24 months. Once radiological healing takes place, the
patients have a steady uphill course towards improved
functional recovery and reduced pain. |
