The present study demonstrated positive correlations between the wedge deformity and the axial rotational deformity in the patients with lumbar degenerative disease. The axial rotational deformity was simultaneously corrected with LLIF only by leveling the intervertebral wedge deformity via cage insertion without additional correction procedure.
