Degenerative scoliosis: Surgical treatment

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Adult degenerative (de novo) scoliosis (ADS) typically presents in the sixth decade and can present a challenging surgical decision-making dilemma. Not only do surgical ADS patients have large deformities, they also have age-inherent spondylitic changes and medical comorbidities that can make treatment challenging. Categorization of radiographic findings along with clinical symptomatology, an algorithmic approach can aid in the surgical decision-making process and ultimately improve clinical outcomes of ADS patients.
