In patients followed up for more than 5 years after lumbar spinal fusion, the most important factor in the prevention of ASD was the restoration of FSLA per level to >15°.

Objectives: To review the causes, pathophysiology, clinical findings, natural course, diagnosis, and treatment of lumbar disc diseases.Summary of Literature Review: Lumbar disc diseases can be divided into disc disease causing back pain and disc herniation causing radiating pain to the lower extremities.These disc diseases are caused by changes in the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus.Materials and Methods: Review of the relevant articles.Results: Lumbar disc diseases begin with damage to th

Background/Objectives: There are many concerns regarding adjacent segment disease after lumbar spinal fusion. However, there are few studies that analyze risk factors by classifying adjacent segment disease (ASD) by onset. This study aimed to investigate related factors according to the period of occurrence of ASD in mid- to long-term follow-up patients after lumbar spinal fusion. Methods: We analyzed 139 patients who underwent ≤3-segment lumbar fusion for degenerative disease with a minimum 5-y

An initial compression rate of < 30% was highly correlated with compression rate progression, particularly within the first month after injury. Compression rate progression correlated with clinical outcomes in terms of pain and quality of life.
