BACKGROUND Rigid internal fixation of the spine is an essential part of adult spinal
deformity (ASD) surgery. Despite the use of pelvic fixation and anterior column support …

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence, mechanism, and
potential protective strategies for pelvic fixation failure (PFF) within 2 years after adult spinal …

Study Design: A retrospective review of prospectively collected data. Objective: The
objective of this study was to investigate the fusion status of the lumbar spine and …

OBJECTIVE Maintaining lumbosacral (LS) arthrodesis and global sagittal balance after long
fusion to the sacrum remains an important issue in the surgical treatment for adult spinal …

Object Lumbopelvic fixation provides biomechanical support to the base of the long
constructs used for adult spinal deformity. However, the failure rate of the lumbopelvic …

OBJECTIVE Issues with spinopelvic fixation for adult spinal deformity (ASD) include loss of
the physiological mobility of the entire lumbar spine, perioperative complications, and …

Study Design A retrospective study. Object To investigate the rate of lumbosacral junction
complication after long corrective spinal fusion for degenerative kyphoscoliosis cases with …

Study Design. Systematic review and meta-analysis. Objective. The purpose of the study
was to compare the outcomes and after spinal fusion with or without iliac screw (IS) insertion …

Objective To evaluate the outcomes and complications of patients with adult spinal deformity
treated in a primary versus revision fashion with long fusions to the sacropelvis. Methods A …

Background Long fusion to the sacrum has been demonstrated to increase the mechanical
failure rate after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery, and these mechanical failures are the …
