Transforaminal Thoracic Interbody Fusion for Thoracic Disc Prolapse: Surgicoradiological Analysis of 18 Cases

Abstract: Study Design: Retrospective observational study. Objectives: Thoracic disc prolapse (TDP) surgeries have reported complications ranging from paraplegia to approach related complications. This study is to present a series of TDP patients surgically treated with transforaminal thoracic interbody fusion (TTIF). Emphasis on surgical technique and strategies to avoid complications are analyzed. Methods: Eighteen patients with TDP were included. Imagings were analyzed for end-plate changes and calcification.

“…Consistent with previous reports by Machino et al 14 and Krishnan et al, 17 arthrodesis was achieved in all patients. Our findings demonstrate that the pedicle-sparing transfacet approach, when combined with a transforaminal interbody and segmental fusion, offers a high fusion rate and good postoperative stability.…”
