Background: The majority of the cases of coccydynia occur in conjunction with either subluxated or hypermobile coccyx, and it has been proposed that this pathologic instability may cause chronic inflammatory changes. Objectives: This study was done to evaluate the effect of coccygectomy in patients with resistant coccydynia after initial conservative therapy failure. Results: The patients were followed up for an average of 25.7 months. The results were good in 11 patients, excellent in 1, and fair in only 1 patient. The excellent and good rates amounted to 92.2%. No major complication was seen. Conclusions: Coccygectomy is a successful treatment in patients unresponsive to conservative treatments for coccydynia.
