Changes in density over time. Postoperative duration indicates the length of time after lumbar fusion surgery performed using titanium instrumentation either without UV treatment or with UV treatment. There were no significant differences in the density of the titanium implants that were UV-treated versus those that were not UV-treated at any timepoint (Mann-Whitney U test). (2 months: P = 0.84, 3 months: P = 0.52, 6 months: P = 0.81, 12 months: P = 0.94)
