The course of Modic vertebral body changes after posterolateral lumbar fusion on fused and adjacent levels: A systematic review of the literature

Highlights • The best evidence points out to a reduction in Modic type I frequency on fused segments. • There was a predominance of new type II changes in postoperative images. • No study described the Modic changes in adjacent levels. • Clinical and functional outcomes were significantly improved a...
