Sarcopenia Predicts the Development of Early Adjacent Segment Disease After Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion
Sarcopenia, measured by decreased psoas area and P:VBR, predicts ASD formation within 3 years of surgery. Morphometric analysis of psoas size is a simple tool to identify patients at risk of developing ASD. This information can potentially guide preoperative and postoperative therapies, affect surgical decision making, and effectively counsel patients on risks of reoperation.
