Key Points

One graft led to similar clinical outcomes as two grafts in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion.
Clinical outcomes were analyzed over a follow-up period of 12 months, indicating no significant difference between groups.
Observational analysis focused on both clinical and radiographic outcomes following the surgical intervention.
Findings support the idea that fewer grafts may reduce complications and costs associated with lumbar fusion.
