Article Synopsis
- The study examines how pre-existing degeneration of the L5-S1 disc affects long-term results after lumbar lateral interbody fusion (LLIF) between L2 and L5, with a focus on whether to include L5-S1 in the surgical fusion.
- Researchers analyzed data from 102 patients who underwent LLIF between 2015 and 2020, comparing those with and without L5-S1 degeneration, and measured clinical outcomes using VAS, ODI, and overall results.
- Findings indicate that although clinical outcomes significantly improved after surgery, pre-existing degeneration of the L5-S1 disc did not show a notable effect on these outcomes, suggesting it may not need to be included in the fusion procedure.
Anterior dural tears complicated by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage with anterior meningocele are rare. Indeed, in the literature, cases are described during anterior arthrodesis, but no cases of post-cervical arthroplasty are described. The management of this type of complication is poorly described and not consensual.

The aim of our study was to identify the pathological mechanisms, and to establish the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients suffering from this complication.
