BACKGROUND
Surgical goals for congenital spinal deformity (CSD) include correction of deformity and prevention of progression without affecting neurological function. CSD has a higher incidence of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) alerts than other scoliosis types and a potential for risk of postoperative neurologi...

OBJECTIVE
Preoperative cervical malalignment, including an increased cervical sagittal vertical axis and proximal junctional angle (PJA), has been associated with proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) following thoracolumbar deformity correction. However, the influence of cervical disc degeneration on PJK risk remains unc...

INTRODUCTION
Cell saver (CS) is widely used in spinal fusion to reduce exposure to allogeneic transfusion, which carries risks such as infection and prolonged hospitalization. Pediatric spinal fusion is frequently associated with significant intraoperative blood loss. Concerns...

STUDY DESIGN
Retrospective analysis of a multicenter series of deformity patients undergoing thoracolumbar instrumentation to the pelvis.
OBJECTIVE
Introduce the C2 coronal angle (C2C) as a novel metric, assess its association with quality-of-life and neck-specific outcomes, and compare the strength of this associati...
