Fusion was assessed using fine-cut CT scans with Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR) and multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) one year after surgery, and each level was graded for interbody and posterolateral fusion (Glassman Classification). Interbody and posterolateral fusion were reported as individual fusion grades (1\u20134) and dichotomized as; Fusion (1\u20132) and non-fusion (3\u20134).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of 57 enrolled patients, 50 had CT scans performed with 53 ALIF and 48 XLIF-treated levels.

Solid fusion of the interbody and\/or posterolateral fusion assessed at the level of the LIF was obtained in 48 (96%) of the patients. Solid interbody fusion was significantly more frequent with ALIF; 49 (93%) compared to XLIF; 26 (54%) (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
