Abstract:
Minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS) has evolved as a formidable alternative to traditional open techniques to address adult spinal deformity (ASD). As technology advances, an increasingly large body of techniques and implants are available for use in MISS deformity correction. MISS deformity correction includes anterior, lateral, and posterior techniques that can be tailored to each patient while capturing the strength of each respective technique. Previous limitations of obtaining sagittal correction have been overcome with anterior column realignment (ACR) and the mini-open pedicle subtraction osteotomy. This article will describe current techniques and their application for ASD correction.
