Abstract
Background/Objectives: Restoration of anterior column support in the lower thoracic spine and thoracolumbar junction can be challenging in the setting of segmental kyphosis, particularly when endplate integrity is compromised. A conformable mesh interbody implant can be introduced in a collapsed configuration through a transforaminal corridor and expanded in situ to accommodate the geometry of the prepared intervertebral space. This study evaluated early radiographic outcomes following anterior column reconstruction with a conformable mesh interbody implant.
