Efficacy of intervertebral release combined with asymmetric osteotomy in rigid degenerative scoliosis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of treating patients with rigid degenerative scoliosis by restoring intervertebral balance through a combination of interbody release and asymmetric grade 1 and 2 osteotomy.

Method

The medical collected clinical and radiographic data of patients with rigid degenerative scoliosis from our department between 2015 and 2022. A total of 60 patients were included in the study, comprising 20 males and 40 females, with an average follow-up period of 30.7 months. Data recorded included surgery duration, blood loss, number of fixed segments, hospital stay, complications, clinical scores, and radiographic parameters.

Results

The sagittal vertical axis improved from 4.28 ± 1.48 cm preoperatively to 2.90
