Fusion rates for the groups and subgroups. The fusion rates were 58.8% in group A, 95.0% in group B, and 94.3% in group C (a). In the subgroup (L5-S1), the bony fusion rates were 62.5% in group A1, 94.4% in group B1, and 89.7% in group C1 (b). In the subgroup (L1–5), the bony fusion rates were 55.6% in group A2, 95.5% in group B2, and 95.7% in group C2 (c). Group A type 2 sclerotic Modic change, Group B type 2 Modic change, Group C no Modic change. **Significantly low fusion rate (P < 0.01), *Low fusion rate (P < 0.05)
