Implication

Multi-center study reveals predictors of pain and function after decompression in adult degenerative scoliosis, suggesting improved surgical decisions.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic decompression for radiculopathy and identify preoperative predictors of postoperative outcomes.
Retrospective review of ADS patients with foraminal stenosis undergoing endoscopic decompression
Collected preoperative spinopelvic measurements and demographics
Compared preoperative measures with postoperative outcomes using VAS and ODI scores
Evaluated correlation between Cobb angle, pelvic incidence, and postoperative functionality
Significant improvement observed in postoperative VAS scores
Increased deformity severity linked to poorer postoperative outcomes
Cobb angles >26° associated with worse pain and function
PI values of 47°-65° correlated with better postoperative functionality
Leg-dominant pain reported to predict greater relief post-surgery
