Correction of sagittal plane deformity and predictive factors for a favourable radiological outcome following multilevel posterior lumbar interbody fusion for mild degenerative scoliosis.

Purpose: Limited data is available in the literature on the radiographic results of multilevel posterior lumbar interbody fusion (MPLIF) in the treatment of degenerative scoliosis. The objective of our study was to evaluate the segmental and global correction achieved with MPLIF in the treatment of degenerative scoliosis.

Methods: Between 2009 and 2014, 42 patients underwent correction of degenerative scoliosis with MPLIF.
