The efficacy of coccygectomy in patients with persistent coccydynia

The Bone & Joint Journal Mar 04, 2021

Milosevic S, Andersen GO, Jensen MM, et al. - This research was attempted to assess the effectiveness of coccygectomy in patients with persistent coccydynia and coccygeal instability. Researchers applied the Danish National Spine Registry, DaneSpine, to distinguish 134 consecutive patients who had undergone surgery, performed by a single surgeon between 2011 and 2019. Researchers collected routine demographic data, surgical variables, and patient-reported outcomes, including a visual analogue scale (0 to 100) for pain, Oswestry Disability Index, EuroQol five-dimension questionnaire, and the Physical Component Score and Mental Component Score of the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey questionnaire at baseline and one-year postoperatively. The results of this study demonstrate that individuals with persistent coccydynia and coccygeal instability resistant to nonoperative treatment may benefit from coccygectomy.
