Abstract
Objective: The effectively of interbody fusion as a surgical treatment option on the degenerative spine disease and assessment of results. Patients and Methods: 56 patients who were diagnosed with degenerative spine and treated using interbody fusion in our institute. Anterior-posterior projection and lateral lumbosacral and CT projections were used for radiologic evaluation of patients. Preoperative and postoperative intervertebral disc height, lumbar and segmental lordosis angle and fusion were measured for radiological assessment. Preoperative and postoperative VAS and ODI scores were measured for functional assessment. Results: Decreases in VAS and ODI scores before and after operation were significant. Increases in intervertebral disc height and lumbar lordosis angle before and after operation were significant. In all patients we have seen circumferential fusion. Adjacent segment degeneration reported in 19 patients. But ODI scores and lumbar lordosis angles between patients who had ASD and no ASD were not significant. Conclusions: We found effectiveness interbody fusion procedure in our study for the treatment of degenerative spine disease.
