1 Lumbar fusion with adjacent degenerative disc stress and disease
Lumbar fusion with adjacent degenerative disc stress and disease. Lateral radiograph of the lumbar spine shows L3-S1 posterior fusion via rods and pedicle screws, with large anterior marginal osteophyte seen at L2-L3 (arrow) with marked endplate subchondral sclerosis indicative of vertebral body degenerative changes and discogenic sclerosis as a result of abnormal stress at the site of the fused and unfused segments.
