“…This study showed that postoperative % disc height is not significantly related to postoperative JOA score, postoperative improved JOA score and postoperative recovery rate. Our results are consistent with those of Lidar et al [17] who indicated that disc space does not seem to affect clinical outcome in lumbar fusion, and efforts to maintain it may be unwarranted. Suda et al's study showed that preserved disc height was a risk factor for pseudoarthrosis and/or instrument breakage in PLF [23].…”

“…Therefore, to restore the height of the intervertebral space to a certain amount can prevent or postpone the recurrence of intervertebral space stenosis and foramen narrowing. But Lidar et al [17] indicated that disc space does not seem to affect clinical outcome in lumbar fusion, and efforts to maintain it may be unwarranted.…”

The objective of this study was to select factors related to the prognosis and curative effect for posterolateral fusion (PLF) of lumbar low-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis (LGIS). Of 125 patients who accepted PLF treatment, 119 obtained solid union in this prospective study. Statistical analysis was used to evaluate factors related to the prognosis and curative effect. Spondylolisthetic position (L4, L5), gender and postoperative percent disc height were not significant factors for the prognosis and curative effect. Length of disease history (LDH), preoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and postoperative percentage of slipping (% slip) were significantly related to postoperative JOA score and postoperative improved JOA score. LDH and postoperative % slip were significantly related to postoperative recovery rate. LDH, preoperative JOA score and postoperative % slip were independent related factors for the prognosis and improvement of LGIS. LDH and postoperative % slip were independent related factors for the curative effect. However, age, gender, spondylolisthetic position and postoperative percent disc height were not significant factors.

“…The question as to whether the degree of DSH and disc degeneration corresponds with the patient's symptomatology has been the subject of previous studies [52,69,[72][73][74][75]. None of these studies were able to find a significant correlation between the DSH and the patient's complaints.…”

“…Currently, there is a series of fusion techniques available, and these are indicated according to the patient, the hospital availability, and the surgeon's preference. 4 Although surgical treatment for spondylosis via lumbar vertebral fusion has been evaluated and proven effective by various randomized controlled studies (RCSs), there is still controversy around patient selection and the choice of the surgical technique for the fusion. 5 Prior studies have reported the advantages, technical difficulties, clinical results, and postoperative complications of 360 degree arthrodesis, i.e., circumferential with the use of an interbody spacer (cage) and posterior access posterolateral fusion.…”

Objective: To evaluate and compare radiographic and clinical evaluation of patients undergoing interbody fusion versus posterolateral fusion of the lumbar spine. Methods: Retrospective study of patients diagnosed with lumbar spondylosis that were surgically treated in the period from 2012 to 2014. The results were observed by clinical evaluation by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for low back and leg pain. We evaluated functional results and quality of life through the application of the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaires, respectively. The pre and postoperative condition were compared in Group 1 (interbody fusion) and Group 2 (posterolateral fusion), in addition to evaluation of fusion by means of post-operative radiograph. Results: A total of 30 patients of 36 were eligible, 12 in Group 1 and 18 in Group 2. The mean follow-up was 10.1 months. Statistical analysis showed similar scores for back and leg pain VAS, SF-36 function scores and Oswestry between groups with interbody and posterolateral fusion, and compared within these groups regarding the pre-and postoperative condition, and found no statistical significance. The successful fusion was similar in both groups, with 11 of 12 patients in
