Alison Rushton,Louise J. White,Alison Heap,Nicola R Heneghan-2015-01-01-World Journal of Orthopedics

TL;DRAbstract

Current United Kingdom surgeon practice for lumbar spinal fusion is described. The surgical procedure and patient population is diverse, and it is therefore understandable that management varies. It is evident that care should be patient-centred. However with high costs and documented patient dissatisfaction it is important that further research evaluates optimal management.
