Purpose: This study aims to validate the usefulness of T10-pelvic angle (T10PA) in predicting pelvic tilt (PT) restoration, proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) development, and clinical outcomes after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery.
Methods: This retrospective study included 213 ASD patients who underwent fusion from the lower thoracic spine (T9 or T10) to the pelvis. T10PA was measured on 6-week postoperative radiographs as the angle between the center of T10 and the hip center, and from the hip center to the midpoint of the S1 upper endplate.

Purpose: A subset of adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients undergoing corrective surgery receive a disproportionate level of medical resources and incur greater costs. We examined the characteristics of such super-utilizers of health care resources among ASD patients.
Methods: This prospective, multicenter study analyzed data from ASD patients with > 4 levels of spinal fusion and a minimum 2-year follow-up.

Objective: The objective of this study was to introduce and evaluate foraminoplastic inferior pedicle subtraction osteotomy (FiPSO), a novel technique that involves downward resection of the pedicle and vertebral body, aimed at addressing rigid lower lumbar kyphosis.
Methods: The clinical records were reviewed of the patients who underwent corrective surgery from January 2012 through December 2021 for adult spinal deformity using a combination of procedures: pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) at the lumbar level and spinopelvic fixation. Inclusion criteria included patients older than 40 years with sagittal imbalance symptoms and significant radiographic findings: sagittal vertical axis (SVA) > 50 mm, pelvic tilt (PT) > 25°, or pelvic incidence (PI) minus lumbar lordosis (LL) > 10°.

Case: A 12-year-old girl with neurofibromatosis type 1 presented with progressive thoracic scoliosis and neurological deficit. Imaging revealed a dystrophic curve, dorsal syrinx, and tethering of the cord by a plexiform neurofibroma arising from the T7 dorsal ramus. She underwent staged surgery: detethering through T6-T8 laminectomy, followed by posterior spinal deformity correction with Schwab type 2 osteotomies and instrumentation.
