DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2017.10.002
Abstract: BACKGROUND Three-column spinal osteotomies were developed to address severe and stiff kyphoscoliosis. However, the optimal choice of osteotomy in these patients is still unclear. This retrospective study aims to compare the outcomes and complications between… read more here.

The Comparison of Posterior Intervertebral Release Combined with Posterior Column Osteotomy and Posterior Column Osteotomy Alone for the Treatment of Moderate‐to‐Severe Rigid Scoliosis: A Prospective Controlled Study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Orthopaedic Surgery"
DOI: 10.1111/os.13987
Abstract: There is no consensus on the treatment of moderate‐to‐severe rigid scoliosis. Anterior release and three‐column osteotomy are excessively traumatic, whereas posterior column osteotomy (PCO) alone results in poor outcomes. An emerging surgical technique, posterior intervertebral… read more here.
