We evaluated fusion rates across predefined lumbar regions and their association with clinical outcomes after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) . We aimed to compare CT-confirmed fusion across predefined anatomical zones and to assess baseline-to-12-month changes in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) .  \nMethods: We retrospectively analyzed 88 patients who underwent 360° TLIF at the Mexican National Rehabilitation Institute (January 2017-May 2022) . Fusion at seven anatomical zones was assessed on a 12-month follow-up CT. Patient-reported outcomes at 12 months included the ODI and the RMDQ.  \nResults: Operations most commonly involved L4-L5 (38; 43. 1%), followed by L4-L5+L5-S1 (31; 35.3%), L3-L4+L4-L5 (12; 13. 7%), L5-S1 (5; 5.9%), and L2-L3+L3-L4+L4-L5 (2; 2.0%) . Fusion success was high, particularly for interbody fusion (79; 89.6%, p \u003C 0 .0001) and facet joint fusion. Complications were uncommon (8; 9. 1%): pedicle fracture (2; 2.3%), durotomy (1; 1. 1%), dural injury (1; 1. 1%), transient nerve alteration on neuromonitoring (2; 2.3%), L4 spinous-process fracture (1; 1. 1%), and screwdriver breakage with retained fragment (1; 1. 1%) . Fusion location/number did not correlate with postoperative ODI (p = 0. 7124) or RMDQ (p = 0 .4255) . Several fusion types were more often successful in female patients (p \u003C 0 .01) .  \nDiscussion: TLIF achieved high CT-confirmed fusion-especially interbody and facet-yet the anatomical distribution/number of fused zones did not influence 12-month disability (ODI/RMDQ) . Results likely reflect surgical technique and patient optimization rather than fusion location. Interpretation should be cautious given the retrospective single-center design, 12-month follow-up, lack of bone-quality data, and exploratory multiple comparisons.  \nCategories: Radiology, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Orthopedics  \nKeywords: clinical outcomes, degenerative spondylolisthesis, fusion success rates, lumbar spine fusion surgery, oswestry disability index (odi), postoperative complications, quality of life, roland-morris questionnaire, transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (tlif)  \nIntroduction  \nThe term spondylolisthesis, first introduced by Killian in 1853, denotes anterior displacement of one vertebra relative to the one below; posterior displacement of the superior vertebra is termed retrolisthesis [1] .
