Adjacent segment stenosis after lumbar fusion requiring second operation
2005
Background
Whereas degeneration of the segment adjacent to lumbar fusion has been often seen on radiographs, a small number of patients with such degenerative changes undergo reoperation. Most follow-up studies have focused on adjacent segment disease based on analysis of radiographs. The present study was conducted to understand the pathology of reoperation cases of adjacent segment disease and factors associated with this condition. Operative indication was consistently restricted to patients with neurological involvement.
