The Efficacy of Vitamin C on Postoperative Outcomes after Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

However, vitamin C may be associated with improving functional status after PLIF surgery, especially during the first 3 postoperative months. PMID: 28861199 [PubMed - in process]
