Abstract

Background: Spinal surgery outcomes are traditionally measured by fusion rates and complication counts, yet patients’ emotional and psychological well‑being is often neglected, especially in low‑resource settings. This study evaluates the postoperative emotional and psychological profile of Nigerian patients after pedicle screw fixation and incorporates qualitative insights into their lived experiences.
