<mods:abstract>[EN]Posterolateral spinal fusion is the standard surgical approach for patients with degenerative disc disease. In our previously&#xd;
published article, we reported a 5-years follow-up of a phase I/II clinical trial in patients undergoing spinal fusion&#xd;
with autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) embedded in tricalcium phosphate. In the current manuscript,&#xd;
we have updated the results with a 10-year follow-up, the longest reported to date in this setting. After clinical and&#xd;
radiological evaluation, safety of the procedure was further confirmed in all 11 treated patients, with no evidence of&#xd;
tumor, infection, inflammatory reaction, or heterotopic ossification related to the administration of MSCs. Regarding&#xd;
clinical efficacy, low back pain and radicular pain (both assessed by the visual analogue scale—VAS), and the Owestry&#xd;
Disability Index remained significantly lower compared to pre-intervention. Radiologic evaluation demonstrated&#xd;
spinal fusion in all cases, improving over time. Finally, quality of life improved significantly also during follow-up. In&#xd;
summary, the use of tricalcium phosphate-embedded autologous MSCs with lumbar posterolateral arthrodesis is safe&#xd;
and potentially provides long-term benefits for 10 years.</mods:abstract>
