Establishing a Staging System for Adjacent Segment Disease and Exploring Its Significance in Guiding Surgical Decisions: A Retrospective Study
The new grading system, developed based on the characteristics of adjacent segment degeneration, showed excellent surgical adaptability, despite varying degrees of correlation across different factors. This system was closely linked to the degree of intervertebral disc degeneration and the intervertebral disc height index. All patients achieved favorable surgical outcomes, suggesting that this grading system could provide valuable guidance in making surgical treatment decisions.
