Evaluation and analysis of surgical treatment for single-level or multi-level lumbar degenerative disease based on radiography.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Radiography has a low level of radiation exposure while providing valuable information. Due to its cost effectiveness and widespread availability, the preoperative radiographic imaging examination is a valuable approach for assessing patients with spinal disease. This study aimed to examine the influence of preoperative X-ray evaluation on the surgical treatment of patients with single- or multi-level lumbar degenerative disease (LDD).

Methods

A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted of 172 patients diagnosed with LDD who underwent transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) or posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) surgery between December 2021 and February 2023 at the Shanghai Changzheng Hospital.
