Research progress on the correlation between sagittal spinopelvic parameters and the prognosis of lumbar fusion surgery

doi:10.11958/20241580

Abstract

Abstract:

lumbar fusion surgery is one of the commonly used surgical interventions and treatments for lumbar degenerative diseases. A small proportion of patients still experience complications such as low back pain after lumbar fusion surgery. Spinal-pelvic parameters are closely related to the occurrence of complications in patients after lumbar fusion surgery. This article reviews the commonly used lumbar fixation and fusion surgical techniques and mainstream sagittal spinal-pelvic parameters. Additionally, it summarizes the research progress and current status regarding the relationship between sagittal spinal-pelvic parameters and various postoperative complications, including low back pain.

Key words: lumbar vertebrae, intervertebral disc degeneration, spinal fusion, lumbago, postoperative complications, sagittal spinal-pelvic parameters
