Short-term complications associated with surgery for high-grade spondylolisthesis in adults and pediatric patients: A report from the scoliosis research society morbidity and mortality database - Commentary

摘要

High-grade spondylolisthesis (HGS) is a rare condition that can cause pain secondary to neurological compromise or spinal instability. There are very few data regarding complications associated with the treatment of HGS. The authors describe short-term perioperative complications identified in pediatric and adult patients for treatment of HGS collected in the Scoliosis Research Society Morbidity and Mortality database. Because of the multicenter nature of the SRS database, the authors were able to review data from a high number of patients.
