Analysis of single cage position in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion through digital images

ConclusionA longer single cage can be placed into the L4/5 level disk by inserting it using the oblique-oriented technique. Its center can reach the midpoint of the treated disk in the coronal plane and the anterior position of the disk in the sagittal plane. The entry point of the cage is the further away from the midpoint of the disk; the cage is the more apt to reach the center of the disk in the coronal plane.
