Follow-up studies of Anterior Interbody Fusion to Multiple Lumbar Disc Lesion

Abstract

We have been always at a loss which operation to select when young adult had multiple disc lesion. Usually it has been sele: ted anterior and posterior approach appro priately. But it is difficult to select which operation to take. We have experianced three cases which have disc degeneration with disc herniation in L_4-5 and only disc degeneration in L_3-4, L₅ SI. In these three cases we performed anterior interbody fusion only to L_4-5 and results are good.
