Adjacent Segment Degeneration
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Adjacent Segment Degeneration
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: The age was between 18-60 years old; patients with lumbar degeneration required 1-2 segment interbody fusion, and there were vacuum signs but no symptoms and no instability of the discs in the adjacent segments (power position slip ≤3mm and segmental angle change ≤10°); they agreed with the surgical plan and were willing to undergo long-term clinical follow-up, and signed an informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: Drug or alcohol abusers; those with abnormal liver or kidney function unsuitable for surgery; those with cardiac insufficiency unsuitable for surgery; those with severe metabolic and endocrine diseases unsuitable for surgery; those with severe lung disorders such as asthma and abnormal lung function unsuitable for surgery; pregnant and breastfeeding women as well as those who are planning to become pregnant in the near future; those who have participated in other clinical trials within 3 months; and those who are not suitable for participation in the experiment in the opinion of the investigator.

experimental group
control group
The study will enroll patients with lumbar degeneration undergoing 1-2 level intervertebral fusion, and for patients with asymptomatic and non-instability intervertebral discs adjacent to the operative level with vacuum signs, extended one-level interbody fusion will be performed.
The control group underwent intervertebral fusion only at the responsible segment.
