AN INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF LUMBAR INTERBODY FUSION ON LUMBAR SPINE FUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH SINGLE-SEGMENT LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS

Abstract

Examining the clinical outcomes and imaging findings of lumbar interbody fusion for single-segment lumbar spinal stenosis can serve as a valuable reference for its clinical management. This study is grounded in the necessity of treating single-segment lumbar spinal stenosis and the clinical advantages of lumbar interbody fusion, serving as the theoretical framework for conducting clinical treatment experiments. The lumbar spine function evaluation, lumbar spine image and lumbar spine fusion rate hood indexes of patients with single-segment lumbar spinal stenosis under the lumbar interbody fusion treatment plan and the traditional conservative treatment plan were comparatively analyzed to investigate the influence of lumbar spine function of patients with lumbar interbody fusion. The experimental results revealed that 12 months after the implementation of the treatment experiment, the VAS-BP, VAS-LP and ODI index scores of the patients in the lumbar interbody fusion surgery group were markedly lower compared to those in the conservative treatment group (P<0.05), indicating that lumbar interbody fusion had a significant efficacy in restoring the lumbar spine function of the patients. Furthermore, it was found that the lumbar fusion rate of the patients could reach 97.22%, highlighting the high safety profile of lumbar interbody. In the future, lumbar interbody fusion is likely to become a widely adopted surgical approach for the treating single-segment lumbar spinal stenosis, providing a solution for the rapid and effective recovery of lumbar spine function.
