Can we predict post-surgical improvement in functional stooping in lumbar spinal stenosis? Insights from oblique lumbar interbody fusion outcomes and radiologic predictors

Abstract Background Functional stooping, characterized by a forward-flexed lumbar posture in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), serves as a compensatory mechanism aimed at alleviating pain by expanding the constricted spinal canal.
