Article Synopsis
- Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) may require surgery if conservative treatments don't work, with OLIF and TLIF being two common surgical techniques.
- A study of 133 patients showed both methods improved pain and function, but OLIF offered better long-term pain relief and spinal alignment correction compared to TLIF.
- OLIF also had a lower rate of collapse and allowed for quicker recovery, making it a potentially better option for patients needing lumbar interbody fusion surgery.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of electromyography on the clinical manifestations and prognosis after posterior lumbar interbody fusion(PLIF) of degenerative lumbar diseases.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 68 patients with degenerative lumbar diseases, including 29 males and 39 females, aged 21 to 84 years old, who underwent electromyogram (EMG) from January 2018 to October 2019. The patients were divided into negative and positive groups according to whether theresults of EMG was normal or abnormal, PLIF surgery was performed in both groups.
