ABSTRACT
Objective@#We aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of midline lumbar fusion (MIDLF) versus minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF) in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis and/or stenosis in L4-L5 two years after surgery.@*Methods@#Consecutively treated patients with lumbar pathology who underwent MIDLF ( @*Results@#The mean operative time and hematocrit (HCT, Day 1) were significantly shorter and lower in MIDLF cases (174 min @*Conclusion@#MIDLF is comparable to MI-TLIF at L4-5 in clinical outcomes and fusion rates, and the results verified the meaningful advantage of using MIDLF for the elderly with osteoporosis.
