000000651 520__ $$aLumbar spine problems are conditions of great significance in the United States.  In the  American working-age population, low back and leg pain is the number one cause of disability.  Direct medical costs related to back pain have been estimated at $25 billion per year, and the costs to society are even higher. This project aimed to explore the relationship between payer status and practice variation in lumbar spine surgery in Oregon.
