What you will cover in this lecture

This spine surgery lecture is about the management of complications occurring during the treatment of adult spinal deformity. The lecture begins with a look at the common reasons for persistence of symptoms, lack of deformity correction, hardware failure and screw pullouts. The lecturer suggests how the patient may still come back even six times or more when these facts are not respected. This is followed by a discussion of how to get the correction right and the techniques to achieve it, using real clinical cases in which, once the correct correction was achieved, the patient becomes symptom free and hardware is well preserved, demonstrated by long follow up.

Learning Objectives

  1. To identifiy the reason for hardware failure in adult deformity
  2. Spinopelvic balance principles – theory and application
  3. Surgical strategies for revision surgery and alignment correction
  4. Diagnostic tools for evaluation of adult deformity patients with inadequate correction
