Quality of Life and Sagittal Alignment after Surgical Correction of Adult Spinal Deformity with Posterior Instrumentation and Simultaneous Translation on Two Rods technique

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: While sagittal correction for adult spinal deformity (ASD) is proven to correlate with improvement in Health-Related Quality of Life scores (HRQOL) using standard instrumentation, data were still sparse regarding simultaneous translation on two rods techniquePatients surgically treated for ADS were enrolled in an international study which aimed to compare long term treatment outcomes of surgical correction of adult spinal deformity by quality of life (QOL) and sagittal alignment indices. Despite slight deformity and disability at baseline compared to published data, significant QOL improvement and satisfaction were observed.
