Correction: Imai et al. Is Anterior Longitudinal Ligament Rupture During Posterior Corrective Surgery for Adult Spinal Deformity a Phenomenon Unique to When Combined with Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion? -Finite Element Analysis with Comparison to When Combined with Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion-. J. Clin. Med. 2025, 14, 7460

Key Points

• The research aims to investigate whether anterior longitudinal ligament rupture is unique to specific spinal surgeries.
• Finite element analysis conducted to model spinal mechanics.
• Comparison of outcomes between surgeries involving lateral lumbar interbody fusion and posterior lumbar interbody fusion.
• Analysis focused on ligament stress during corrective procedures.
• Identified differences in ligament stress during each surgical method.
• Noted that anterior longitudinal ligament rupture occurs variably depending on the surgical approach.
• Provided insights into potential risks associated with each surgical technique.
