Abstract
No previous study has compared the complications between anterior/posterior and transforaminal interbody fusions. We performed a retrospective analysis of 164 patients to compare the complications and associated predictive factors of the two techniques of circumferential lumbar fusion. Fifty-three had same-day anterior/posterior fusion (group 1), and 111 had transforaminal interbody fusion (group 2). Mean operating time (pKeywords
