Operative Management of Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease

Abstract: Lumbar degenerative disc disease is extremely common. Current evidence supports surgery in carefully selected patients who have failed non-operative treatment and do not exhibit any substantial psychosocial overlay. Fusion surgery employing the correct grafting and stabilization techniques has long-term results demonstrating successful clinical outcomes. However, the best approach for fusion remains debatable. There is some evidence supporting the more complex, technically demanding and higher risk interbody f… Show more

“…Rigid spinal fusion is the most popular surgical procedure in the management of lumbar instability or lumbar disk herniation (LDH) [11]. Though rigid fusion has been proved to be an effective way to restore the disc space height, reconstruct the stability and alignment of spine, a variety of complications had emerged such as adjacent segment disease with the change of spinal mechanical activities [12]. The rigid fusion decreased the flexibility and mobility of the entire lumbar spine, leading to the center of rotation of vertebral body shifts over the disc, consequently, the stress on the facets and/or disc of the adjacent mobile segment significantly increased [4].…”

“…In order to avoid the occurrence of ASDeg, a variety of dynamic internal fixation systems are gradually used in clinical practice, including interspinous dynamic internal fixation system, transpedicular dynamic rod fixation, artificial disc replacement, etc. [4] . Although interspinous dynamic internal fixation system, to some extent, can delay the emergence of ASDeg, fusion is often required in order to achieve fully decompression and stability for patients with severe spinal stenosis or lumbar instability [5,6] .…”

“…It is now generally accepted that increasing the fusion length promotes the occurrence of ASDeg [1][2][3]. In order to avoid the occurrence of ASDeg, a variety of dynamic internal fixation systems are gradually used in clinical practice, including interspinous dynamic internal fixation system, transpedicular dynamic rod fixation, artificial disc replacement, etc [4].
