This post-hoc analysis examines recurrence definitions and patient outcomes in a randomized controlled trial, indicating larger recurrences are clinically relevant.
Radiographic recurrence >2 cm was associated with higher reoperation rates and worse patient-reported outcomes at 1 year, whereas 0-2 cm recurrences were not. These data support >2 cm as a clinically significant definition of recurrence after MIS-PEHR, while the relevance of smaller recurrences remains uncertain.
