OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical efficacies of single segment transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) with cage versus autogenous morselized bone for @entity2649 . METHODS: A total of 87 @entity1 undergoing single segment TLIF were randomly divided into 2 groups. A cage was implanted into intervertebral space in group A @entity1 while autogenous morselized bone in group B @entity1 . Operative duration, @entity190 , length of stay and cost of hospitalization of two groups were recorded. They were followed up at 1 week, 12, 24 months post-operation. @entity717 index (ODI), visual analogue scale (VAS) fusion rates, intervertebral space and foramen height restoration, lumbar @entity260 were compared between two groups. RESULTS: No significant inter-group difference existed in operative duration, @entity190 or length of stay. However, the average hospitalization cost in group A were 18% higher than that of group B (P < 0.05). Both groups achieved excellent clinical outcomes within 2 years. ODI, VAS score improvement rates and @entity260 rates were not statistically different. Lumbar fusion rate was 86.7% in group A versus 85.7% in group B after 2 years. And there was no significant difference (P > 0.05). The heights of intervertebral space and foramen in group A achieved a better recovery than those of group B. Both groups had similar improvements of lumbar @entity1515 . CONCLUSION: For @entity2649 , usage of interbody cage is more effective in terms of recovery of intervertebral space and foraminal height compared with usage of bone graft. However it brings no better clinical efficacy while the usage of autogenous morselized bone is more cost-effective. Two grafting methods yield similar overall clinical outcomes.
