The effects of lumbar fusion and non-fusion surgery on the development of Modic changes

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of lumbar fusion and non-fusion surgery on the postoperative development of Modic changes (MCs). METHODS: A total of 270 patients who underwent lumbar fusion, microsequestrectomy, microdiscectomy, and microdecompression, and who were...

description BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of lumbar fusion and non-fusion surgery on the postoperative development of Modic changes (MCs). METHODS: A total of 270 patients who underwent lumbar fusion, microsequestrectomy, microdiscectomy, and microdecompression, and who were examined by pre- and postoperative magnetic resonance imaging during the period of January 2012 to December 2018, were included in this retrospective study. The incidence of new postoperative MCs and the change of volume of preexisting MCs after surgery were investigated. RESULTS: The total incidence of new MCs following lumbar surgical procedures was 36.3%. Lumbar fusion showed a tendency towards a lower postoperative incidence of new MCs than the other three lumbar surgical procedures. The first postoperative year seems to be the most active phase for the development of new MCs. The postoperative volumes of MCs in patients who underwent lumbar non-fusion procedures were significantly greater than those before surgery (P < 0.01). However, no significant difference was detected between pre- and postoperative volumes of MCs in patients with lumbar fusion (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Lumbar surgical procedures contribute to the development of new MCs, particularly non-fusion surgeries. However, further studies are needed to confirm the clinical relevance of these findings.
