Summary
This study looked at nearly 1,000 adults who had spinal fusion surgery to see if the routine X-rays taken after surgery actually change how doctors treat them. The researchers checked how often these X-rays led to extra tests or changes in treatment. The goal is to find out if these scans are truly needed or if they can be skipped to save time and reduce radiation exposure.
