Abstract
The prevalence of all RF after index procedures was 18.4%, 37% for bilateral RF. Greater preoperative sagittal vertical axis, greater preoperative thoracolumbar kyphosis, increased number of vertebrae fused for patients who received rhBMP-2 <12âmg per level fused, and CC 5.5-mm rod were associated with RF. Less improvement in patient satisfaction and self-image was noted in the RF group. Furthermore, bilateral RF significantly affected PROs as measured by ODI and SRS Subscore at final follow-up.
