Abstract

Degenerative kyphoscoliosis affects a significant proportion of the population. Loss of spinopelvic harmony, progressive positive sagittal imbalance, spondylotic compression of neural elements, and ultimately the loss of the ability to appropriately compensate for these phenomena can be a significant source of disability for patients. Quality of life can be severely influenced, and neurologic deficit can lead to morbidity. Kyphosis in the adult can be a challenging condition to treat; however, our understanding of the complex interplay of spinopelvic parameters continues to grow to improve patient care and treatment.
