Survivorship and clinical outcomes after multi-level anterior lumbar reconstruction with stand-alone anterior lumbar interbody fusion or hybrid construct

Highlights • In multilevel disc disease, there is uncertainty regarding the most effective and safe construct. • Multilevel hybrid construct fusion and anterior lumbar inter body fusion (ALIF) were compared. • Blood loss, operation time, hospital stay, visual analogue scale scores, and Oswestry disa...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • In multilevel disc disease, there is uncertainty regarding the most effective and safe construct. • Multilevel hybrid construct fusion and anterior lumbar inter body fusion (ALIF) were compared. • Blood loss, operation time, hospital stay, visual analogue scale scores, and Oswestry disability index scores were compared. • Hybrid fusion is an effective and safe alternative to ALIF.
