Correlation of Early Outcomes and Intradiscal Interleukin-6 Expression in Lumbar Fusion Patients

Correlation of Early Outcomes and Intradiscal Interleukin-6 Expression in Lumbar Fusion Patients

Objective To determine if there is correlation between intradiscal levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and early outcome measures in patients undergoing lumbar fusion for painful disc degeneration.
