Indirect foraminal decompression and improvement in the lumbar alignment after percutaneous cement discoplasty
European Spine Journal Apr 26, 2019
Kiss L, et al. - In this retrospective analysis of prospectively collected dataset of 28 cases (112 lumbar segments) who underwent single- or multilevel percutaneous cement discoplasty (PCD), authors analyzed the consequences of PCD on spinopelvic radiological parameters and their relationships with the clinical outcome. After the PCD procedure, pelvic tilt was decreased whereas sacral slope significantly increased. They found a significant increase in segmental and total lordosis disc and foraminal height after the procedure. Due to PCD, pain, and disability (ODI) significantly reduced. They supported the achievement of improvement in lumbar alignment and a significant indirect foraminal decompression with the procedure.
