NCT05927662

Brief Summary

In the normal healthy population, the sagittal alignment can be divided into four types based on the size of the sacral slope and lumbar lordosis. The effect of this sagittal profile especially type 2 with almost straight lordosis on the clinical outcomes of patients after mini-open discectomy is unknown. In this study, the results of patients who underwent mini-open discectomy were evaluated according to sagittal profile types of the patients.
