Changes in radiographic and clinical outcomes with primary treatment adult spinal deformity surgeries from two years to three- to five-years follow-up.
(Spine, 2010-09)<h4>Study design</h4>Retrospective analysis of data entered prospectively into a multicenter database-clinical and radiographic outcomes assessment.<h4>Objective</h4>Our hypothesis is that between the 2-year and the 3- to ... -
Classifications for adult spinal deformity and use of the Scoliosis Research Society-Schwab Adult Spinal Deformity Classification.
(Neurosurgery clinics of North America, 2013-04)Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is a complex disease state that pathologically alters standing upright posture and is associated with substantial pain and disability. This article provides an overview of classification systems ... -
Clinical and radiographic parameters associated with best versus worst clinical outcomes in minimally invasive spinal deformity surgery.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2016-07)OBJECTIVE Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques are increasingly used to treat adult spinal deformity. However, standard minimally invasive spinal deformity techniques have a more limited ability to restore sagittal ... -
Comparison of best versus worst clinical outcomes for adult spinal deformity surgery: a retrospective review of a prospectively collected, multicenter database with 2-year follow-up.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2015-09)<h4>Object</h4>Although recent studies suggest that average clinical outcomes are improved following surgery for selected adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients, these outcomes span a broad range. Few studies have specifically ... -
Comparison of Structural Disease Burden to Health-related Quality of Life Scores in 264 Adult Spinal Deformity Patients With 2-Year Follow-up: Novel Insights into Drivers of Disability.
(Clinical spine surgery, 2017-03)<h4>Study design</h4>This is a review of a prospective multicenter database.<h4>Objective</h4>To investigate the relationship between preoperative disability and sagittal deformity in patients with high Oswestry Disability ... -
Comparison of two minimally invasive surgery strategies to treat adult spinal deformity.
