Abstract:
Adult scoliosis is a common condition. Symptoms could be very debilitating. Surgical management requires a clear assessment of the functional impact of scoliosis, the failure of conservative treatments and precise analysis of radiological investigations (full spine views, dynamic X-rays and MRI). Surgical techniques (anterior and posterior approaches, minimal invasive techniques, osteotomies, all spine instrumentation) must be tailored to each patient. The main goals of surgery are treatment of symptoms, correction of deformity in coronal and sagittal plane and achievement of a solid fusion. Despite a high rate of complications, surgical treatment of adult scoliosis is associated with a better quality of life for patients.
