Abstract
The modified Moro's classification (MMC) of psoas morphology and oblique corridor (OC) grading were recently proposed. Their reliability needs to be tested. T2 weighted lumbar disc level axial-cut MRI images of patients with degenerative spondylosis were distributed to five spine surgeons. The inter and intra-rater reliability of MMC and OC grading were calculated based on their ratings. Based on kappa statistics, we inferred that both MMC and OC grading are reliable measures. Both MMC and OC grading, in combination, can be used to predict the feasibility of oblique lumbar interbody fusion and aid in patient selection.
