Sarcopenia Predicts Early Adjacent Segment Disease Development After Anterior and Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion
Sarcopenia significantly predicts ASD development within 3 years after lumbar fusion through retroperitoneal approaches. Irrespective of approach, sarcopenia is a risk factor of ASD formation and should be evaluated preoperatively. Morphometric analysis provides a simple screening tool and can be used to tailor preoperative and postoperative therapies to improve outcomes.
