Changes in detailed LBP VAS scores. LBP while standing before surgery was significantly higher than LBP while sitting (**one factor ANOVA, p < 0.01). LBP VAS scores in all three postural situations were improved significantly after ULBD surgery (†paired t test, p < 0.01). Especially, LBP while standing improved significantly after ULBD surgery compared with LBP while sitting (# repeated measure two-factor ANOVA, p < 0.05). The level of LBP became almost the same in the three postural situations and this continued until the 2-year follow-up
