Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, we have been observing great progress in the field of treatment for spine disorders.
Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) has emerged as a novel option for lumbar interbody fusion procedures. LLIF has also been widely used in the surgical treatment of adult spinal deformity (ASD). There are various advantages of applying LLIF to the surgical treatment of ASD. Meanwhile, several new issues remain unsolved.
The main aim of this Special Issue of Medicina is to deliver new advances in the field of spine surgery and spine disorders.
This Special Issue is open to studies on surgical strategies, clinical outcomes, etiology, systematic reviews, etc.
We invite authors to submit articles related to all the areas of spine and spinal cord surgery.
The paper types can be either of original articles, review articles, technical notes, or case reports.
