Hardware failure following multilevel posterior percutaneous fixation using the minimally invasive antepsoas (MIS-ATP) approach in adult spine deformity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adult spinal deformities (ASDs) requiring long fusions to the lumbosacral junction are notorious for L5-S1 pseudarthrosis and hardware-related complications. The minimally invasive surgery antepsoas (MIS-ATP) technique allows for substantial anterior column reconstruction thereby reducing the risk of posterior hardware-related complications. This study investigates the incidence of posterior hardware-related complications following long-segment fusion (seven or more vertebrae) using MIS-ATP and posterior percutaneous fixation (PPF).

Methods

This is a retrospective review of patients who underwent long spinal fusion (MIS-ATP + PPF) to the sacrum and pelvis for the management of ASD between 2008 and 2019. Postoperative clinical complications and radiographic paramet
