Supporting data for “Predictive Factors for Radiographic Outcomes and Cage Subsidence After Oblique Lateral Interbody Fusion“

Supporting data for chapter 4 in thesis named "Predictive Factors for Radiographic Outcomes and Cage Subsidence After Oblique Lateral Interbody Fusion" submitted by Hao Wu.
This dataset contains preoperative and early postoperative clinical parameters measured from MRI images from patients who underwent oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF).
From February 2015 to December 2019, 103 consecutive patients (206 levels) who underwent OLIF with or without posterior instrumentation fulfilled study inclusion criteria and were retrospectively studied. Radiographic variables measured pre- and postoperatively included (1) disc height, (2) segmental lordosis, (3) foraminal height and area, (4) the diameter of the bulging disc, (5) spinal canal diameter and area, (6) dural sac diameter and area, (7) left and right axial subarticular diameter, (8) left and right ligamentum flavum (LF) thickness, and (9) ligamentum flavum area.
