Multicenter Study Clinical Trial[Pedicle closing-wedge osteotomy for the treatment of fixed sagittal imbalance].
The aim of this study was to analyze x-ray results in patients who underwent pedicle subtraction osteotomy for complex deformations (flat back, kyphosis) leading to fixed sagittal imbalance. ⋯ Pedicle subtraction osteotomy is an original operative technique reserved for specialized centers. A well-experienced team is needed to control the risks involved. Sagittal balance should be one of the important goals for modern spinal surgery.
