Sagittal Realignment Following Decompression for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis in Elderly Patients: A Comprehensive EOS Imaging Analysis
Decompression surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis in elderly patients can result in significant improvements in sagittal alignment and clinical outcomes. The study suggests that decompression alone is a viable surgical option for elderly patients, particularly those with a greater preoperative sagittal imbalance and disability, even in the absence of major deformities.
