Correction of adult spinal deformity is associated with substantial improvements in patient quality of life. However, traditional open osteotomy techniques are associated with notably high rates of morbidity particularly when utilizing larger, more powerful, 3-column osteotomies. Data exists that support the use of minimally invasive posterior column osteotomies in the context of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, but further research is warranted to confirm the clinical utility of mini-open 3-column osteotomies.
