Diagnostic accuracy study. ⋯ Level III.
-
Retrospective study. ⋯ The ideal PI-LL correction target without adversely impacting PT and PI-LL was calculated at 2.3°-12.5° for patients aged <70 years and 7.9°-13.3° for patients aged ≥70 years. These guideline parameters may help ensure optimal clinical outcomes without increasing the risk of PJK/F.

Retrospective Case-Control study. ⋯ III.
-
Retrospective review of a prospective cohort study. ⋯ These findings demonstrate how the different ODI subsections associate with overall improvement post-lumbar surgery for DLS. This understanding is crucial for refining preoperative education, addressing particular disabilities, and evaluating surgical efficacy. Additionally, it shows that surgical treatment does not affect all subsections equally.

A retrospective study. ⋯ Shorter lengths of stays and more home discharges at the orthopaedic specialty hospital and community hospital settings did not compromise surgical quality or postoperative outcomes.
