Changes in Spino-pelvic Sagittal Parameters after Oblique Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion and Their Correlation with Clinical Outcome

CONCLUSION: The postoperative spine-pelvis sagittal parameters were significantly improved compared with the preoperative ones, and the changes of the spine-pelvis sagittal parameters before and after the operation were correlated with the clinical outcomes, among which the differences of LL and FH had the strongest correlation with the improvement rates of ODI and VAS scores. OLIF effectively improved spinal-pelvic sagittal parameters and clinical outcomes in degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis, with changes in LL and FH showing the strongest correlation with patient-reported outcome improvements. An oblique lateral interbody fusion can effectively reconstruct spine-pelvis sagittal parameters in patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.PMID:38687852
