Association between fatty infiltration of paraspinal muscle, sagittal spinopelvic alignment and stenosis grade in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis

Association between fatty infiltration of paraspinal muscle, sagittal spinopelvic alignment and stenosis grade in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis

Introduction: Sagittal balance and fatty infiltration of paraspinal muscle are important factors in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) that may affect patients’ quality of life. Sagittal spinopelvic parameters and fatty infiltration may be associated with the severity of LSS. The purpose of...
