Given the anatomical uniqueness of the Indian skeletal structure, this study evaluates the radiological dimensions of lumbar endplates in the Indian population and their correlation with the placement and length of interbody cages used in various lumbar fusion techniques such as oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF), transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), and anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF). This study aimed to conduct radiological measurements of lumbar endplates in the Indian population and correlate them with cage placement and length in lumbar fusion techniques.
