Article Synopsis
- This study is a retrospective cohort analysis that investigates the link between Hounsfield units (HUs) measured on CT scans and mechanical failure in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) undergoing surgery.
- The research included 170 ASD patients, revealing a 27% rate of mechanical failure after two years, but showed no significant correlation between HUs and the occurrence of mechanical failure.
- The findings suggest that using HUs from preoperative CT scans is not a reliable method for predicting mechanical failure in ASD surgery patients.
