Abstract
Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Objectives Successful bone fusion is crucial for favorable posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) outcomes. While trabecular bone remodeling (TBR) indicates osseointegration, its interpretation remains uncertain. This study aimed to clarify the clinical significance of distinct TBR types—fine TBR (fTBR) and sclerotic TBR (sTBR)—as seen on computed tomography (CT) scans and to evaluate their predictive value for segment stabilization and complete bone fusion and their relationship with interbody cage materials. Methods Seventy-one patients who underwen
