Background: Obese individuals have a higher risk of degenerative disc disease (DDD). Currently, body mass index is not sensitive enough to differentiate between muscle and fat distribution, and obesity-related health issues are linked to the way body fat is distributed. The...

We preferred to avoid any vertebra with compression fracture, acute angular kyphosis, or an acutely angular suprajacent disc in the sagittal plane. If there was thoracic hyperkyphosis (T5–T12 60°) or thoracolumbar kyphosis (T10–L2 ≥ 20°), the stable and neutral vertebra above the upper ...
Other reports have indicated that the degenerative changes may not be greater than those expected with the natural history of the degenerative process, as degenerative disease is not expected to be isolated to one level ( 4 7 ). Reports that have suggested an increased risk of adjacent segment ...

To avoid early-onset PJK, consideration of these factors is important before planning long-instrumented spinal fusion from L1 to the sacrum for patients with degenerative lumbar disease. However, since age itself is not a risk factor, L1 can be selected as UIV even in elderly patients if ...
