Biomechanical changes in lumbar intervertebral discs after percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy surgery at different Body Mass Index (BMI) categories
The study suggested that patients who undergone PETD surgery should refrain from engaging in strenuous activities especially flexion during early rehabilitation through finite element analysis. For patients with a high BMI, it is advisable to scientifically reduce weight before and after the surgery in order to maintain appropriate stress on the intervertebral disc.
