Postoperative coronal imbalance predicts late mechanical failure and revision surgery after adult spinal deformity correction with pelvic fixation: a 5-year follow-up study in elderly patients.
PURPOSE Postoperative coronal imbalance (CIB) is a persistent concern following adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. This study aimed to determine whether postoperative CIB independently increases the risk of mechanical complications and revision surgery, and to investigate whether the side of rod fracture correlates...
