Postoperative quality of life in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and thoracolumbar kyphosis: risk factors and personalized sagittal reconstruction strategy

CONCLUSIONS: PSO proved efficacious in treating AS complicated by TLK, yielding favorable outcomes. CBVA ≥ 25°, CL ≥ 18°, and PT ≥ 33° were the primary factors affecting postoperative quality of life in patients with AS. The personalized sagittal reconstruction strategy in this study focused on the subjective sensations and daily needs of patients with AS, which were delineated by the equations SS = 0.84 PI - 17.4°, TK = 0.51 PI + 10.8°, NT = 0.52 TIA - 5.8°, and T1S = 0.48 TIA + 5.8°.PMID:38064699 | DOI:10.3171/2023.9.SPINE23675
