Featured in Spine Surgery Today, July/August 2014
This Feature Article at Healio discussed a recent presentation at the 2014 AANS Annual Meeting in San Francisco. A presented paper reported statistics taken from national administrative databases suggest lumbar spine fusion is on the increase, with the greatest increases occurring among patients with herniated discs or degenerative disc disease.
The paper raises questions about the accuracy of other studies which mine large databases of medical information regarding spine surgery. Spine Surgery Today sought the expert opinion of Dr. Goldstein to provide perspective to the questions raised by the study.
