[Objective]To analyze the clinical effectiveness of degeneration lumbar disease combined with scoliosis after short-segment posterior lumbar interbody fusion(PLIF).[Methods]The correction effectiveness、complications and following up results of the 57 degeneration lumbar disease combined with scoliosis patients with PLIF were collected from September 2004 to August 2007.[Results]The average period of follow up was 40 months(24~60 months to 60 months),the scoliosis correction ratio was 98.2%,the anteroflextion curvature of the sagittal plane correction ratio was 78.9%,the remission ratio of the pain and numbness was 91.2%,there had been no pseudoarthrosis formation.No incision infected occurred during the peroperative period.Pulmonary infection was found in 2 cases.Lower limb pain was found is 5 cases and was released after treatment.The correction degree of coronal and sagittal plane did not decrease,intervertebral height did not lose and no fusion displacement was found.[Conclusion]Short-segment PLIF is effective in treatment of lumbar degeneration disease combined with scoliosis.
