Preoperative evaluation is key for treating sagittal imbalance. Flexible deformities are managed with positioning and fusion, while rigid ones require osteotomies for optimal surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Spine surgery
  • Orthopedics
  • Surgical technique

Background:

  • Sagittal imbalance, a spinal deformity, can be segmental or global.
  • Accurate assessment of deformity flexibility is crucial for surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the preoperative evaluation and surgical management strategies for sagittal imbalance.
  • To differentiate treatment approaches based on deformity type and flexibility.

Main Methods:

  • Preoperative assessment of spinal deformity flexibility.
  • Surgical correction techniques including intraoperative positioning, instrumented fusion, and osteotomies.

Main Results:

  • Flexible sagittal deformities can be corrected with intraoperative positioning and fusion.

  • Rigid sagittal deformities necessitate osteotomies for effective correction.

    • Conclusions:

    • Meticulous preoperative evaluation guides the choice between fusion and osteotomy for sagittal imbalance.
    • Thorough planning and precise execution of osteotomies are vital for successful surgical outcomes in rigid deformities.
