Long-term benefits of appropriately corrected sagittal alignment in reconstructive surgery for adult spinal deformity: evaluation of clinical outcomes and mechanical failures.

CONCLUSIONS: The clinical benefits from appropriate correction of sagittal alignment continued for a mean of 90.3 months. However, the intergroup difference in clinical outcomes between groups A and IA decreased over time. The development of rod fracture or PJK was not affected by the appropriateness of sagittal alignment. PMID: 33338999 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
