Preoperative Risk Factors for Adjacent Segment Degeneration after Two-Level Floating Posterior Fusion at L3-L5

Preoperative Risk Factors for Adjacent Segment Degeneration after Two-Level Floating Posterior Fusion at L3-L5

Introduction: The aims of this study were to investigate how adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) occurs at the proximal and distal segments after L3-L5 fusion surgery, namely, floating fusion, and to identify the risk factors for ASD in patients who undergo this surgery.
