Similar analyses were performed on spine fusion procedures during the period 1990-2000. The number of spine fusions performed has increased by 87% from about 130,000 procedures in 1990 to about 244,000 procedures in 2000. These analyses also indicated that during the early 1990s, the major contributor was the 15-44 age group. But towards the end of the 1990s, the major contribution came from the 45-64 age group. The number of spine fusions in the 65-plus age group increased by 730% from 1990 to 2000.
From the analyses presented, it was possible to derive important take home messages. The population trends indicated that the crest of the "baby boomer" population wave has passed through the 15-44 age group and was traversing the 45-64 and the 65-plus age groups. The incidence of disc herniation was higher in the 15-44 age group, leading to most discectomies also being performed on the same populati,,,,,,,,,,,,
