TELD with limited foraminoplasty has potential biomechanical advantages over TELD with large annuloplasty: an in-silico study

Abstract Background Facetectomy, an important procedure in the in–out and out–in techniques of transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy (TELD), is related to the deterioration of the postoperative biomechanical environment and poor prognosis.
