similarly found that dynamic radiographic factors such as posterior translation and slip were strongly associated with reoperation, while the severity of foraminal stenosis showed a marginal trend (OR: 7.56, p = 0.064). 16 Koda et al. also reported that preoperative aLFS was associated with recurrent sciatica requiring additional procedures (OR: 17.9, p < 0.01).
