The analysis of segmental lordosis restored by oblique lumbar interbody fusion and related factors: building up preoperative predicting model

Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) procedures have the potential to increase the segmental lordosis by inserting lordotic cages, however, the amount of segmental lordosis (SL) changes can vary and is likely influenced by several factors, such as patient characteristics, radiographic parameters, and surgical techniques. The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of related factors on the amount of SL changes in OLIF procedures and to build up predictive model for SL changes.
