Summary:Single-center retrospective study of prospectively collected data, nested within the Eurospine Spine Tango data acquisition system.

There is a general reluctance to consider spinal fusion procedures in elderly patients due to the increased likelihood of complications. Before and at 3, 12, and 24 months after surgery, patients completed the multidimensional Core Outcome Measures Index.
