Kang MS, Heo DH, Chung HJ, et al. - The present study was conducted to explore the clinical outcomes of biportal endoscopic posterior lumbar decompression and vertebroplasty (BEPLD + VP) for the treatment of delayed vertebral collapse (DVC)-related lumbosacral radiculopathy (LSR). Researchers conducted a retrospective case series including 18 consecutive extremely elderly (aged ≥ 75-year-old) patients (6 men and 12 women) who had lower lumbar (at or below L3) DVC-related LSR. All individuals had undergone BEPLD + VP under epidural anesthesia. They assessed clinical results by the visual analog scale (VAS) score and the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scores. The outcomes illustrated that BELPD + VP was a type of salvage therapy that decreases surgical morbidity, needs major spine surgery under general anesthesia and provides good clinical outcomes in extremely elderly patients with DVC-related LSR.
