The aim is to evaluate the causes and effective treatments for failed back surgery syndrome following lumbar fixation.
Prospective observational analysis conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital from January 2021 to June 2022.
Included 26 adults diagnosed with failed back surgery syndrome due to lumbar fixation.
Outcomes measured included straight leg raise test (SLRT), visual analog scale (VAS), and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores post-revision surgery.
At 3 months, 92.3% of patients had free straight leg raise test results; at 6 months, this increased to 96.2%.
VAS scores significantly decreased by 62.5% at 1 month and 89% at 6 months post-surgery (P < 0.001).
ODI scores improved from 77% at 1 month to 97.3% at 6 months following revision surgery.
