BACKGROUND: Stand-alone oblique lateral interbody fusion has a high rate of complications of fusion segment sink. Oblique lateral interbody fusion with posterior fixation can provide stable support, but intraoperative position changes and double incisions weaken the advantages of this technique. Oblique lateral interbody fusion combined with lateral plate fixation can achieve one-stage decompression in the same incision, while the lateral internal fixation provides stable support. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the short-term efficacy of oblique lateral interbody fusion combined with lateral plate fixation in the treatment of single-level lumbar degenerative disease. METHODS: The clinical data of 34 patients with single-level lumbar degenerative disease treated with oblique lateral interbody fusion combined with lateral plate fixation were collected from May 2020 to October 2022. Among them, 14 were males and 20 were females aged from 41 to 72 years at the mean age of (58.6 ±9.9) years. There were 11 cases of lumbar spondylolisthesis (I°), 7 cases of lumbar disc herniation with segmental instability, and 16 cases of lumbar spinal stenosis. Operation time, blood loss, and complications were recorded. Visual analog scale scores of lumbago, radiative pain of both lower limbs, and Oswestry disability index scores were evaluated before surgery, 3 months after surgery, and the last follow-up. Dural sac cross-sectional area, intervertebral height, and intervertebral fusion were measured and observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The 34 patients were followed up for 14-36 months, with an average of (21.3±5.2) months. (2) The operation time ranged from 50 to 92 minutes, with an average of (68.5±11.1) minutes. Intraoperative blood loss was 50-170 mL, with an average of (71.6±25.3) mL. (3) Compared with the preoperative results, the visual analog scale scores and Oswestry disability index scores were significantly decreased at 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up (P < 0.001), and the maximum Oswestry disability index scores were improved by nearly 50%. (4) Bone fusion was achieved in all patients during half-year follow-up. The overall complication rate was 21% (7/34), including 1 case of plate displacement, 3 cases of cage subsidence, 1 case of psoas weakness, and 2 cases of anterior thigh pain. (5) It is concluded that oblique lateral interbody fusion combined with lateral plate fixation for the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases has the characteristics of less blood loss, short operation time, rapid postoperative recovery, and significant short-term clinical efficacy with the stable support to a certain extent. The long-term curative effect needs further follow-up observation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
