Comparison of multilevel low-grade techniques versus three-column osteotomies in adult spinal deformity surgery: does harmonious correction matter?

In selected instances, these techniques may offer the spine deformity surgeon a safer alternative when correcting severe adult spinal deformity.PMID:38489818 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.SPINE23802
