Highlights
- •Patients were included in this study with risk factors commonly excluded in other series.
- •Application of published exclusion criteria would have resulted in exclusion of ½–⅔ of our cohort.
- •Symptomatic improvement reported in 91.05% patients.
- •Improved results were observed in younger patients and those without peripheral neuropathy.
- •There were no deep infections.
