Background: The single-position prone transpsoas (PTP) lateral interbody fusion represents an alternative approach to the traditional lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) typically performed with the patient in the lateral decubitus position. Advantages of PTP surgery include improved segmental lordosis, single-position surgery, and ease of performing posterior techniques as needed.

Objective: This study aimed to assess whether elderly patients (aged ≥ 70 years) face an elevated risk of complications following pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) for adult spinal deformity (ASD) compared with younger patients (< 70 years) and to evaluate if clinical and radiological outcomes differ between these age groups.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 513 patients undergoing PSO for ASD by a single surgical team between January 2006 and January 2023 was conducted. Patients were categorized by age (≥ 70 years and < 70 years).
