Unveiling the role of lumbar intervertebral space morphology: a novel classification and its impact on cage migration in lumbar fusion surgery
The novel classification of lumbar intervertebral spaces effectively predicts cage migration risk. The degenerative modified type is a strong risk factor for migration. Tailoring surgical strategies to intervertebral space morphology may improve stability and outcomes in lumbar interbody fusion procedures.
