Biomechanical Study of Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion: A Review

—Degenerative disc disease is a spinal disorder in which the vertebral disc helps protect nerves and increase spine flexibility that begins to deteriorate. The syndromehappens in the lumbar spine, which is crucial in supporting the weight of the human body. The lumbar vertebrae are naturally la...
