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.

Study Design: Retrospective analysis of a prospective multicenter Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) registry.

Objective: Assess whether spinal alignment deteriorates post-surgery in absence of mechanical complications and evaluate the long-term outcomes of ASD surgery over a five-year period.

Summary Of Background Data: ASD is prevalent among older adults, leading to significant pain and disability.

Purpose: Different methods of sagittal alignment assessment compete for predicting adverse events after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. We wanted to study which method provides greater benefit.

Methods: Retrospective study of 391 patients operated for ASD, with > 6 instrumented levels, fused to the pelvis, and 2 years of follow-up.

Introduction: Poor restoration of pelvic version after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery is associated with an increased risk of mechanical complications and worse quality of life. We studied the factors linked to the improvement of postoperative pelvic version.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of a prospective multicenter ASD database.
