Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed x-rays and surgical outcomes of 21 female patients (average age 64.5) suffering from lumbar degenerative kyphosis and persistent back pain despite having compensatory spinal adjustments.
- Surgical intervention involved anterior and posterior spinal arthrodesis, leading to significant improvements in sagittal balance, lumbar lordosis, and thoracic kyphosis, with p-values indicating strong statistical significance (P < 0.0001).
- Post-surgery, patient-reported outcomes showed marked reductions in pain and disability, with 85.5% of participants reporting satisfactory results at follow-up.
