Journal ArticleDOI
Does treatment (nonoperative and operative) improve the two-year quality of life in patients with adult symptomatic lumbar scoliosis: a prospective multicenter evidence-based medicine study.

TL;DR: It would appear from this study that common nonoperative treatments do not change the quality of life in patients with ASLS at 2-year follow-up, however, operative treatment does significantly improve the QOL for this group of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Major complications and comparison between 3-column osteotomy techniques in 105 consecutive spinal deformity procedures.
Joshua D. Auerbach,Lawrence G. Lenke,Keith H. Bridwell,Jennifer K. Sehn,Andrew H. Milby,David B. Bumpass,Charles H Crawford rd,Brian A. OʼShaughnessy,Jacob M. Buchowski,Michael S. Chang,Lukas P. Zebala,Brenda A. Sides +11 more
TL;DR: PSO and VCR patients with no complications had slightly higher satisfaction scores than patients with minor-only complications, major transient complications, and major permanent complications and the presence of a major complication did not affect the ultimate clinical outcomes at 2 years or more.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proximal junctional kyphosis in primary adult deformity surgery: evaluation of 20 degrees as a critical angle
Keith H. Bridwell,Lawrence G. Lenke,Samuel K. Cho,Joshua M. Pahys,Lukas P. Zebala,Ian G. Dorward,Woojin Cho,Christine R. Baldus,Brian W. Hill,Brian W. Hill,Matthew M. Kang +10 more
TL;DR: PJK ≥20° in primary adult idiopathic/degenerative scoliosis does not lead to revision surgery for PJK, but is univariately associated with older age, shorter constructs starting in the lower thoracic spine, obesity, and fusion to the sacrum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcomes of Operative and Nonoperative Treatment for Adult Spinal Deformity: A Prospective, Multicenter, Propensity-Matched Cohort Assessment With Minimum 2-Year Follow-up.

TL;DR: Operative treatment for ASD can provide significant improvement of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) at a minimum 2-year follow-up, and nonoperative treatment on average maintains presenting levels of pain and disability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Major complications in revision adult deformity surgery: risk factors and clinical outcomes with 2- to 7-year follow-up.
Samuel K. Cho,Keith H. Bridwell,Lawrence G. Lenke,Jin Seok Yi,Joshua M. Pahys,Lukas P. Zebala,Matthew M. Kang,Woojin Cho,Christine R. Baldus +8 more
TL;DR: The occurrence of a follow-up, not but perioperative, major complication seemed to have a negative impact on ultimate clinical outcome.
