Clinical results were evaluated by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and by the neurologic evaluation. Preoperative, postoperative and final follow-up X-rays were assessed.
The surgery included a posterior approach with cord release and correction by transpedicular wedge osteotomy and widening of the spinal canal.
