Study Design Retrospective analysis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Purpose This study aimed to investigate the influence of distinct distal fusion levels on spinopelvic parameters in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who underwent posterior instrumentation and fusion surgery. Overview of Literature The distal fusion level selection in treatment of AIS is the one of mi...

Introduction: Sagittal spinopelvic alignment has been shown to affect loads at the intervertebral joints and has been linked to spine health. Furthermore, the link between degenerative changes and loading of the IVD seems evident with pathophysiological loading widely thought to detrimentally affect the intervertebral disc. If changes in lumbosacral anatomy and kinematics are induced by lumbar ...

Introduction Severe osteoarthritis of the hip may cause abnormal spinopelvic alignment. Therefore, spinal alignment may change after total hip arthroplasty (THA); however, there have been no prospective clinical reports on the influence of preoperative lumbar lateral flexibility on the improvement of spinal alignment. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of preoperative lumbar la...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in sagittal spinopelvic alignment between lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (DSPL) and degenerative spinal stenosis (DSS). METHODS Seventy patients with DSPL and 72 patients with DSS who were treated with lumbar interbody fusion surgery were included in this study. The following spinopelvic parameters were measured on who...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart and radiographic review. OBJECTIVE To evaluate spinopelvic fixation technical advancements for the treatment of neuromuscular scoliosis. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Implants for vertebral and pelvic fixation have evolved without data demonstrating the benefit for neuromuscular scoliosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate this evolution in terms of deformi...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Spinopelvic parameters related to sagittal balance have become increasinglyimportantamong spine surgeons due their correlation with patient satisfaction rates. Objective: The goal of this study was evaluate changes in spinal after lumbar surgery using PLIF, the posterior interbody fusion technique. Methods: sample consisted adult patients degenerative disease submitted ar...

To determine the effect of planned two-stage surgery using lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) on perioperative complication rate following corrective in patients with kyphoscoliosis. Consecutive degenerative scoliosis who underwent were divided into a control group that single-stage posterior-only and two-staged LLIF posterior fusion. We collected patient background surgical data assessed r...
