ABSTRACT
Degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) is a spinal deformity characterized primarily by abnormal curvature of the lumbar vertebrae, commonly occurring in individuals aged 50 and above. Its pathogenesis involves various factors, including intervertebral disc degeneration, ligament and muscle degradation, as well as genetic and environmental elements. In terms of treatment, non-surgical treatments such as pharmacotherapy, physical therapy, and exercise are regarded as the primary approach. However, for severe cases, individualized surgical intervention is also a viable option, and reasonable classification is the key to surgical decision-making. Current research predominantly emphasizes the osseous structural aspects of the spine, neglecting neural and muscular factors. Future interdisciplinary research is expected to explore more comprehensive and effective treatment modalities, aiding in the restoration of spinal cord function in patients.
