Orthopedic surgery versus neurosurgery: Prevalence and surgical detail assessment of adult spinal fusion procedures
Neurosurgeons performed nearly double the amount of spinal fusion cases compared to orthopedic surgeons, with an even greater disparity seen in ACDFs, while orthopedic surgeons performed significantly more fusions of the lumbar spine. Orthopedic surgeons had shorter operative times for 2-3-level lumbar fusions.
