Abstract | Spine surgeons are often faced with a profoundly difficult challenge in surgically treating adult degenerative scoliosis. Deformity correction surgery is complicated by the difficulty in offering extensive surgical corrections to the elderly, complication-prone population it commonly affects. As spine surgeons attempt to offer minimally invasive solutions to this disease process, the need for fusion of the fractional curve at L4, L5, and S1 may be discounted. A treatment strategy to identify, address, and treat the fractional curve with either open or minimally invasive techniques can lead to improved patient outcomes and decrease revision rates in this complicated pathologic process. |
