Abstract: Objective To compare the clinical effects of minimally invasive transforaminal decompression of lumbar fusion with internal fixation and conventional posterior open surgery on lumbar degenerative diseases,and provide a basis for treatment of clinical lumbar diseases.Methods From January 2016 to January 2017,a total of 64 cases of degenerative lumbar joint discogenic back pain were recruited to observe the clinical effects of different treatments.Results The patients who had minimally invasive transforaminal decompression of lumbar fusion with internal fixation showed better results of length of incision,postoperative drainage volume,hospital stay,VAS score,and ODI score than those who had conventional surgery,and the differences were significant (P<0.05).Conclusion For lumbar degenerative diseases,minimally invasive transforaminal decompression of lumbar fusion with internal fixation can significantly improve operation completion and various postoperative scores,and is worth promoting.
