Comparative Analysis of Pedicle Screw Fixation and Interspinous Devices in Lumbar Spinal Fusion: Clinical and Surgical Outcomes in Degenerative Spine Conditions.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Degenerative lumbar spine conditions are a major cause of disability, particularly in elderly patients or those with comorbidities. Surgical treatment often combines decompression and stabilization to address pain and instability. Pedicle screws are the gold standard for stabilization but pose challenges in patients with compromised bone quality. Interspinous devices have emerged as a less invasive alternative, but comparative studies are limited. This study aimed to compare clinical and surgical outcomes of lumbar decompression with stabilization using pedicle screws versus interspinous devices. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients who underwent lumbar decompression with either pedicle screw fixation or interspinous device st
