Utilization of posterior column osteotomies with posterior spinal fusion for correction of Lenke type 5 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a systematic review.

Intraoperative traction in posterior spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of correction, perioperative, and safety outcomes

Background Intraoperative traction is used during posterior spinal fusion or posterior spinal instrumentation for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), but the comparative evidence is still limited and clinically heterogeneous. Previous reviews have also varied in whether they combined preoperative traction, traction...

Therapeutic Outcome of Posterior Surgical Correction and Fusion in Patients with Idiopathic Scoliosis Lenke Type 1

Background: Idiopathic scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine with rotation, occurring without congenital or musculoskeletal abnormalities. This study evaluated outcomes of patients with idiopathic scoliosis (Lenke type 1 curves) who underwent posterior spinal corrective surgery between 2018 and 2021. Methods:...

Radiographic predictors of proximal junctional kyphosis after adult spinal deformity surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Clinical outcomes and complications of the posterior dynamic distraction device in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

PURPOSE The posterior dynamic distraction device (PDDD) is a fusionless implant for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). We aimed to quantify pooled major-curve Cobb correction, complication, revision, and infection rates after primary PDDD implantation for Lenke 1 or 5 curves, and to place these outcomes in context...

Posterior-Only Sagittal Correction in Degenerative Lumbar Kyphosis Using Posterior Interpedicular Osteotomy (PIO) and Bilateral Discectomy with Hyperlordotic Cages: A Retrospective Case Series

Introduction: Degenerative lumbar kyphosis (DLK) is a common cause of sagittal imbalance, pain, and functional disability. While three-column osteotomies provide powerful correction, they are associated with substantial morbidity. We evaluated the radiographic and clinical outcomes of a novel posterior-based correction...

Fused Spinopelvic Angle in Adult Spinal Deformity with Pure Sagittal Malalignment: A Postoperative Threshold Associated with Proximal Junctional Kyphosis

Background: Determining the appropriate magnitude of lumbar lordosis (LL) correction in adult spinal deformity (ASD) remains controversial. The fused spinopelvic angle (FSPA), a posture-independent parameter, may provide a geometric measure of fused-construct orientation associated with proximal junctional kyphosis (PJ...
