The impact of overall lumbar disc degeneration burden on disability outcomes following surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis due to osteoarthritis
One-quarter of this LSS-OA sample had high LDD burden; LDD burden was strongly associated with outcome. Findings suggest that understanding outcomes in this OA population requires multilevel spine burden and multi-appendicular joint burden consideration.
