ClinConnect Summary

Aging and degeneration can lead to changes in the spine, causing adult spinal deformities like loss of lumbar lordosis, thoracic hyperkyphosis, and scoliosis. Severe deformities can be highly debilitating, necessitating treatments. Surgery using instrumentation, such as pedicle screws, rods, and cages, can effectively correct adult spine deformities. However, complications and failures are common.

Precise pre-operative planning based on standing X-rays is crucial before attempting correction. Radiographic parameters, including pelvic incidence (PI), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), lumbar lor...
