A Novel Classification of Sagittal Spinal Alignment to Aid Surgical Planning for Adult Spinal Deformity
Surgical outcomes, including radiographic outcomes, patient-reported outcomes, postoperative complications, and revision surgery rates, were compared in patients with adult spinal deformity who underwent correction surgery with reference to our pelvic incidence-dependent (PI-dependent) clustering of sagittal spinal alignment and existing standards (sagittal age-adjusted score \[SAAS\], global alignment and proportion \[GAP\] score, and Roussouly classification). Our findings may provide tangible guidance for surgical decision-making in ASD.
