The impact of patient-specific spine rods on spinopelvic parameters after short segment degenerative lumbar fusions

PSSRs demonstrate significant improvement in spinopelvic parameters, particularly in reducing PI-LL mismatch, in degenerative lumbar fusion surgery. This improvement suggests a potential for enhanced patient outcomes. Follow-up assessments indicate that these improvements are sustained over a 2-year period. However, our findings underscore the need for further research to validate these results on a larger scale and over the long term. Larger-scale studies are necessary to confirm long-term benefits and should aim to explore the specific mechanisms by which PSSRs contribute to improved outcomes and investigate optimal strategies for incorporating PSSRs into clinical practice.
