Clinical Results and Functional Outcomes of Primary and Revision Spinal Deformity Surgery in Adults
Hamid Hassanzadeh,Amit Jain,Mostafa H. El Dafrawy,Addisu Mesfin,Philip Neubauer,Richard L. Skolasky,Khaled M. Kebaish +6 more
TL;DR: Revision surgery for spinal deformity in adults, although technically challenging and considered to present a higher risk than primary surgery, was shown to have a complication rate and outcomes that were comparable with those of primary spinal deformities surgery in adults.
