Minimally Invasive Anterior Column Reconstruction for Sagittal Plane Deformities

Abstract

Many factors are involved in the surgical management of adult spinal deformity, including maintenance of coronal and sagittal balance as well as spinopelvic harmony [1–5]. Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is believed to develop because of asymmetrical degeneration of discs, osteoporosis, and vertebral body compression fractures [6]. Presenting symptoms of this condition primarily include radiculopathy, chronic low back pain, and neurogenic claudication caused by concurrent spinal stenosis [7, 8].
