Comparison of PLIF and TLIF in the Treatment of LDH Complicated with Spinal Stenosis

Figure 1

Comparison of perioperative scores between the two groups (). Note: (a) Comparison of lower limb pain NRS scores before surgery and 3 months after surgery between the two groups. The abscissa represents before surgery and 3 months after surgery, and the ordinate represents NRS score of lower limb pain (points). The lower limb pain NRS scores in PLIF group were (6.73 ± 0.81) and (1.64 ± 0.32) before surgery and 3 months after surgery, respectively. The lower limb pain NRS scores in TLIF group were (6.69 ± 0.79) and (1.68 ± 0.28) before surgery and 3 months after surgery, respectively. indicated a significant difference in the lower limb pain NRS scores of the PLIF group before surgery and 3 months after surgery (t = 40.491, ); indicated a significant difference in the lower limb pain NRS scores of the TLIF group before surgery and 3 months after surgery (t = 41.413, ). (b) Comparison of low back pain NRS scores before surgery and 3 months after surgery between the two groups. The abscissa represents before surgery and 3 months after surgery, and the ordinate represents NRS score of low back pain (points); The low back pain NRS scores in PLIF group were (5.46 ± 1.53) and (1.52 ± 0.46) before surgery and 3 months after surgery, respectively. The low back pain NRS scores in TLIF group were (5.48 ± 1.49) and (1.56 ± 0.4) before surgery and 3 months after surgery, respectively. indicated a significant difference in the low back pain NRS scores of the PLIF group before surgery and 3 months after surgery (t = 17.086, ); indicated a significant difference in the low back pain NRS scores of the TLIF group before surgery and 3 months after surgery (t = 17.513, ). (c) Comparison of JOA scores before surgery and 3 months after surgery between the two groups. The abscissa represents before surgery and 3 months after surgery, and the ordinate represents JOA scores (points); The JOA scores in PLIF group were (15.23 ± 4.31) and (22.15 ± 1.45) before surgery and 3 months after surgery, respectively. The JOA scores in TLIF group were (15.26 ± 4.36) and (22.43 ± 1.54) before surgery and 3 months after surgery, respectively. indicated a significant difference in the JOA scores of the PLIF group before surgery and 3 months after surgery (t = 10.543, ); indicated a significant difference in JOA scores of the TLIF group before surgery and 3 months after surgery (t = 10.743, ).
