Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Saihu Mao"
Recent research by Saihu Mao focuses on congenital spinal deformities and their surgical treatments, particularly in conditions like cervical hemivertebrae and neurofibromatosis-related scoliosis.
Notable findings include the development of a new classification system for congenital cervicothoracic scoliosis that aids in prognostic assessment, and the feasibility of a posterior-only surgical approach for correcting cervical hemivertebrae in young patients.
Additionally, Mao's work explores innovative biomaterials for osteoporotic bone repair and highlights the complexities of managing trunk tilt and balance issues associated with congenital scoliosis progression.
