Multifidus muscle changes and clinical effects of one-level posterior lumbar interbody fusion: minimally invasive procedure versus conventional open approach
European Spine Journal, 11/02/09

Furthermore these degenerative changes of multifidus were also significantly correlated with long–term clinical outcome.
