SEOUENTIAL - SIMULTANEOUS CORRECTION OF SHORT SEGMENT HYPERKYPHOSIS
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1994, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Sequential-simultaneous anterior and posterior correction is the authors preferred techniçue for short segment hyperkyphosis. İt allows posterior instrumentation placement and osteotomy performance in the preferred prone position, as well as direct control and visualization of both the anterior and posterior columns during kyphosis correction and placement of anterior strut grafts. When compared to staged procedures, this technique maintains the potential advantages of improved correction and nutrition, decreased blood loss, decreased hospital stay, and de-creased morbidity.
