Osteoporosis and adult spinal deformity—a review for spinal surgeons by the SRS adult spinal deformity task force on senescence
摘要
To explore the understanding of osteoporosis in the context of adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery with a focus on diagnosis, surgical risks, non-operative, and operative treatment techniques.
MethodsA comprehensive literature search was performed. Articles were identified using the search terms “osteoporosis,” “adult spinal deformity,” “scoliosis,” and “spine surgery.” Relevant studies were selected based on their focus on the intersection of these topics with an emphasis on utility in spine surgery.
ResultsThis review discusses osteoporosis diagnosis, surgical risks, and non-operative, and surgical treatments in the context of ASD surgery with a focus on clinical applications. Areas for future growth are highlighted.
ConclusionAs adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients increase globally, the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) formed a task force to improve understand
