Learning curve and complication analysis of oblique lateral interbody fusion in cases with single-segment lumbar tuberculosis: a retrospective single-center consecutive study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) is becoming widely used in patients with single-segment spinal tuberculosis (STB). The learning curve and complications associated with OLIF for the treatment of STB are still unknown. This study aims to figure out the learning curve and associated complications experience of OLIF for the treatment of STB.

Methods

Between September 2018 and August 2023, 61 STB patients underwent OLIF plus percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (PPSF) were consecutively included in this research. Cumulative sum analysis (CUSUM) was applied to establish the learning curve of OLIF and determine the cut-off case number. All cases were divided into learning and experienced groups based on the cut-off case number. Clinical characteristics and relating
