Researchers examined 46 patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis who were treated with selective TLIF. All patients were followed for 42 months on average after surgery.
The patients experienced a correction rate of the Cobb angle at 67.8 percent. The correction rate of the lumbar lordosis angle was 44.4 percent. After TLIF, the segmental lordosis angle increased and there was a correction rate of 80 percent. Vertebral translation was also corrected during the procedure.
