Aim: A quantitative evaluation of the relationship between the level of postoperative motor deficit and the intensity of reaction of pyramidal tract to the correction of spinal deformity.
Material And Methods: The correction of spinal deformities of different etiology was performed under neurophysiological control for 87 patients (30 men, 57 women), aged 15.6±0.6 years. Reaction intensity of pyramidal tract was evaluated using the scale developed by the authors.
Results: The relationship between the intensity of intraoperative reaction of somatic motor system and EMG-signs of postoperative subclinical motor deficit in temperature-and-pain sensitivity disorders was shown.
Conclusion: EMG evaluation of the level of intensity of subclinical motor deficit in combination with changes in temperature-and-pain sensitivity after the spinal deformity correction complies the reaction intensity of somatic motor system to surgical aggression. Neurologists should pay more attention to the patients with V type reaction not only during postoperative period, but before the next stage of surgery.

Background: Alpine skiing requires flexibility, endurance, strength and rotational ability, which may be lost after long fusions to the pelvis for adult spinal deformity (ASD). ASD patients may worry about their ability to return to skiing (RTS) postoperatively. There is currently insufficient data for spine surgeons to adequately address questions about when, or if, their patients might RTS.

Atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) is a serious condition in which the first two cervical vertebrae lose their anatomical position and stability. This may lead to neurological complications, including death. The treatment of AAD remains controversial, and posterior instrumentation with pedicle screw placement is one of the commonly used methods.

Thoracolumbar spinal deformities are a pervasive condition affecting the adolescent and adult patient population. These deformities represent three-dimensional alterations in the coronal, sagittal, and transverse planes with implication on the local, regional, and global alignment. With continued studies, the importance of the overall correction on long-term outcomes has been established.

Background And Objectives: Three-column osteotomy (3CO) offers substantial spinal deformity correction. Thoracic neurovascular bundle sacrifice is often required, and anterior spinal artery (ASA) perfusion can be compromised. Spinal angiography allows localization of variable ASA vascular contribution.
