ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

The modified Moro's classification (MMC) of psoas morphology and oblique corridor (OC) grading were recently proposed. Their reliability needs to be tested.

METHODS:

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.
