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.
