Increased paraspinal muscles fatty infiltration and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy as independent predictors of posterior revision surgery following lateral lumbar interbody fusion with lateral plate fixation: a retrospective study
LLIF+LP surgery yields favorable outcomes for lumbar degenerative diseases with a low reoperation rate. Preoperative evaluation of ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and the FI grade of the lumbar multifidus muscle may assist in guiding surgical planning, preoperative discussions, and management of patient expectations.
