Abstract
Oblique lateral interbody fusion is a safe procedure at L1-L5 as well as L5-S1. The complication profile appears acceptable when compared with LLIF and ALIF. The oblique trajectory mitigates psoas muscle and lumbosacral plexus-related complications seen with the lateral transpsoas approach. Furthermore, there is a high fusion rate based on CT data at 6 months.
