Description
Kim and co-authors compare two spine fusion methods for worn lumbar joints. One method uses a scope with two cages through a side path. The other is the standard open fusion from the back. Records covered 115 patients treated from 2021 to 2024. All had one-level disease and failed 12 weeks of basic care.
The scope group held 58 patients and the open group 57. Scope cases lost less blood and took less time. Cage height and angle ran slightly higher with the scope. Pain eased faster after scope surgery in the first weeks. Scores at 6 and 12 months matched between the groups.
