Objective: To analyze and compare the Imaging findings of adult idiopathic scoliosis and degenerative scoliosis which were the most common adult scoliosis, and evaluate imaging characteristics.
Method: The radiological and clinical data of 98 case, among them, 41 cases of adult idiopathic scoliosis and 57 cases of degenerative scoliosis, were analyzed retrospectively.
Result: There were differences at presence age, sex ratio, anatomic area of scoliosis and apex between two types of adult scoliosis. The analyses and comparison between the two groups revealed significant change in the Cobb angle, involved segment and convex side orientation (all P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Adult idiopathic scoliosis and degenerative scoliosis show distinctive imaging characteristics. These characteristics combining clinical data are decisive in diagnosis.

Two-stage surgery with oblique lateral interbody fusion and posterior fixation in degenerative scoliosis with lumbosacral curve-driven degenerative lumbar scoliosis: a feasible option to prevent postoperative coronal decompensation.
J Orthop Surg Res
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Beijing Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing, China.
Objective: This study aims to introduce a two-stage surgical procedure, namely oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF), for spinal disorders treatment. Furthermore, clinical outcomes and imaging results are analyzed between OLIF with posterior fixation and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with fixation for lumbosacral curve-driven degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS).
Methods: 146 patients with type 2 DLS who underwent OLIF or PLIF between January 2019 and November 2023 were included.

Background: Extensive studies examined coronal imbalance (CIB) in adolescent and adult degenerative scoliosis; however, few studies addresses on CIB in adult with severe rigid scoliosis (SRS). Therefore, we analyzed postoperative SRS patients to identify factors associated with postoperative CIB.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we investigated SRS patients undergoing one-stage posterior column osteotomy (PCO) and fusion at our hospital between August 2012 and January 2019.
Influence of coronal lumbar Cobb angle and surgical level on short-segment lumbar surgery outcomes in degenerative scoliosis.

Hospital for Special Surgery, 535 E. 70th St, New York, NY, 10021, USA.
Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between surgical levels and coronal deformity to identify risk factors for failing to achieve a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) following short-segment isolated decompression or fusion surgery in patients with degenerative scoliosis (DS) and concurrent lumbar canal stenosis (LCS), without severe sagittal deformity malalignment.
Methods: Patients with degenerative scoliosis who underwent 1- or 2-level lumbar isolated decompression or fusion surgery were included. Surgical level was labeled as "Cobb-related" when decompression or surgical levels spanned or were between end vertebrae, and "outside" when the operative levels did not include the end vertebrae.
The utility of surgical drains in adult and pediatric posterior spinal fusion: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Surgical drains are utilized in spinal surgery to reduce the incidence of epidural hematomas (EDHs) and to facilitate optimal wound healing. Despite their widespread use, there is a paucity of data to support their utility. The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to compare the effect of using drains versus no drains on postoperative outcomes in adult and pediatric patients undergoing posterior spinal fusions for deformity or degenerative conditions.

Background/objectives: Nowadays, posterior lumbar cages remain a popular choice among the available options for interbody fusion even when compared with anterior approaches. As the posterior lumbar anatomy permits a relatively easy exposure to the spinal anatomy of interest, expandable cages prove to be a reliable tool for 360-degree fusion. Our study aspires to investigate the postoperative effects of Flarehawk 9 after open posterior lumbar fixation.
