Overview

Randomized trial evaluates outcomes of endoscopic surgery for radiculopathy in elderly individuals, suggesting positive results.

Key Points

  • This research aims to assess the effectiveness of endoscopic surgery techniques for treating radiculopathy due to compression fractures in elderly patients.
  • Included 20 patients undergoing biportal endoscopic foraminotomy and unilateral screw fixation.
  • Evaluated demographic data, hospital stay, blood loss, operative time, and follow-up radiological assessments.
  • Used the visual analog scale for assessing pain preoperatively and during follow-up.
  • Mean operative time was 164.8 minutes with average hospital stay of 10.2 days.
  • Postoperative radiculopathy significantly improved after surgery; back pain also improved, but mildly persisted.
  • Radiologic evaluations showed no significant changes in segmental lordosis and no cases of subsidence or symptomatic screw loosening.
