Application of pedicle bone quality scoring and Hounsfield unit in predicting the risk of cage subsidence after single-segment lumbar fusion surgery
Pedicle bone quality scoring and HUs provide significant reference value in diagnosing cage subsidence following single-segment lumbar interbody fusion. The predictive model constructed through the combined assessment of these two factors demonstrated superior diagnostic efficacy.
