Abstract :
Objective: To compare the postoperative outcomes of transforaminal
intersomatic lumbar arthrodesis with structured iliac bone autograft
and PEEK device. Methods: The total of 93 medical records of
patients undergoing transforaminal intersomatic fusion between
January 2012 and July 2017 with at least 1 year of postoperative
follow-up, with complete medical record, containing clinical file and
radiological exams, were reviewed. Results: From the medical records
evaluated, 48 patients underwent the procedure with structured iliac
autograft (group 1) and 45 with PEEK device (group 2). There was
an improvement in functional capacity in both groups (p < 0.001),
however there was no difference when comparing them (p = 0.591).
Conclusion: The postoperative clinical and radiological results of
lumbar arthrodesis with TLIF technique, using a structured iliac
bone autograft compared to a PEEK device, were similar. Level of
Evidence II, Retrospective study
