MIS-TLIF provided a high cage fusion rate and low pedicle screw loosening rate in patients with osteoporosis with 2-level degenerative spine disease. Furthermore, no new VCFs were found in long-term follow-up. The clinical outcomes also demonstrated no significant difference compared with traditional open spine fusion surgery. Therefore, MIS-TLIF could be considered an effective and safe surgical treatment modality for 2-level degenerative spine disease in osteoporosis.
