Surgical treatment of Scheuermann's kyphosis using a combined antero-posterior strategy and pedicle screw constructs: efficacy, radiographic and clinical outcomes in 111 cases.

摘要

The study highlighted that AR/PSF is an efficient strategy providing reliable results in a large single-center series. Results confirmed that flexibility was the decisive measure when comparing surgical outcomes with different treatment strategies. Findings indicated that changes at the proximal junctional level were impacted by individual spino-pelvic morphology and determined by the individually predetermined thoracolumbar curvature and sagittal balance. Results stressed that in SK correction, reconstruction of a physiologic alignment is decisive to achieving good clinical outcomes and avoiding complications.
