Bending rod is unnecessary in single-level posterior internal fixation and fusion in treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases

Abstract Background Bending rod is a routine in lumbar fusion and fixation surgery, but there is no study investigating whether bending rod in one level is necessary. Methods Patients receiving 1 level lumbar fixation and fusion between May 2018 and September 2020 were included with a minimum 6-mont...
