Preoperative bone mineral density quantitatively assessed by Hounsfield units is associated with failed back surgery syndrome after lumbar fusion surgery: a retrospective study
This study revealed that preoperative BMD, as quantified by CT-derived HU values, may be associated with FBSS. Preoperative assessments of CT-derived HU values might provide additional details for identifying patients susceptible to FBSS, which could help prevent this complication.
