    Summary

    Avoiding complications in adult spinal deformity surgery requires careful patient selection and optimizing medical and surgical factors. Addressing issues like smoking, bone quality, and surgical alignment goals is crucial for better outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Spinal Surgery
    • Adult Deformity Correction

    Background:

    • Adult spinal deformity surgery has a high complication rate.
    • Identifying and mitigating key risk factors is essential for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the three primary pitfalls in adult spinal deformity surgery.
    • To provide strategies for avoiding these complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of common complications and risk factors in adult spinal deformity surgery.
    • Discussion of patient selection criteria.
    • Emphasis on optimizing modifiable medical and surgical factors.

    Main Results:

    • Pitfall 1: Inappropriate patient selection.

  • Pitfall 2: Failure to optimize modifiable medical issues (smoking, nutrition, bone quality).
  • Pitfall 3: Suboptimal surgical technique and alignment goals, leading to proximal junctional issues.

    • Conclusions:

    • Careful patient selection is paramount.
    • Preoperative optimization of medical conditions significantly impacts surgical success.
    • Attention to surgical technique and patient-specific alignment goals minimizes complications like proximal junctional failure.
