PCD is an effective minimally invasive technique to treat axial pain and disability related to severe lumbar disc degeneration. Our study shows that an improvement in lumbar alignment and a significant indirect foraminal decompression could be achieved with the procedure. These changes can significantly contribute to the pain relief and increase in the patients' functional capacity. These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
