Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Spinal Disorders

Background:

  • Adult spinal deformity (ASD) causes significant pain and disability.
  • ASD is a degenerative condition characterized by spinal rigidity.
  • Traditional treatments involved extensive open fusions with high risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of minimally invasive surgical approaches for adult spinal deformity.
  • To compare outcomes of minimally invasive surgery versus traditional open fusions.
  • To assess the impact of minimally invasive techniques on patient morbidity and healthcare spending.

Main Methods:

  • Review of technological advancements enabling minimally invasive spinal surgery.
  • Analysis of patient outcomes and complication rates associated with minimally invasive ASD surgery.
