<br/><br/> There has been a dramatic increase in the number of lumbar fusions performed. Indications for lumbar fusions include discogenic back pain, spondylosis and spondylolisthesis. A common goal of lumbar spinal surgery is to restore sagittal alignment. Loss of lumbar lordosis (cobbs angle) is strongly associated with patient dissatisfaction and may cause degenerative processes of adjacent segments. Our study is to see the effect of transforaminal interbody fusion on disc height and lumbar lordosis
