Returning to activity after spinal deformity surgery is vital for patient recovery and long-term health, yet there is significant variability in postoperative protocols among surgeons worldwide. This paper aims to define guidelines for returning to activity across diverse patient groups: early onset scoliosis (EOS), adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), young adults, adult spinal deformity (ASD), elite athletes, and general sports participants. This paper provides guidelines to foster a unified approach to postoperative care, improving outcomes and ensuring patients can safely and effectively resume their activities.

Article Synopsis
- * Methods: Researchers developed 10 critical questions from frequently asked AIS inquiries and had the chatbots respond, then evaluated the accuracy, clarity, and empathy of the answers using a rating system by experienced spine surgeons, while also gathering opinions on AI in healthcare.
- * Results: ChatGPT 4.0 performed the best with 39% 'excellent' ratings, while overall, only 26% of responses were rated 'excellent.' Not
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to determine how rod characteristics, screw density, and cages affect mechanical complications in spinal surgeries compared to patient-related factors and alignment in adult spinal deformity cases.
- Data from 302 patients was analyzed using different statistical models to measure outcomes like pseudarthrosis and screw loosening and understand the impact of surgical techniques versus patient demographics.
- Key findings include that using four rods reduces the risk of pseudarthrosis, postoperative malalignment significantly increases the risk of complications, and high screw density leads to a lower risk of screw loosening, while age has a secondary impact on outcomes.
