Evaluating and Establishing the Relationship in the Five Critical X-ray Time Points in Spinal Deformity Realignment: Preoperative Standing and Supine, Intraoperative Pre- and Post-correction, and Postoperative Standing Films
University of California, San Diego
Summary
To establish the relationship in the five critical X-ray time points during multilevel posterior column osteotomies (MPCO) spinal deformity realignment in patients with adult spinal deformity and to follow the participants longitudinally to examine any follow-up X-rays and clinical data to compare to the post-operative standing scan and pre-operative data.
Description
Studies in adult spinal deformity (ASD) have found that the presence of sagittal imbalance directly correlates with worsening quality of life. Multilevel posterior column osteotomies (MPCOs) is a technique that can provide correction to adult spinal deformity. MPCOs can be utilized for revision surgery as an alternative to 3-column osteotomies and have the ability to aggregate large amount of lordosis segmentally. The success of the MPCO technique largely depends on radiographs taken during these surgeries to aid the surgeon in establishing the best screw and rod placement and making intraoper…
