Abstract
Purpose Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients are a high-risk population in adult spinal surgery and there is no general consensus regarding the surgical correction of spinal deformity in these patients. We perform long fusion for PD spinal deformity in our institution and this study is a retrospective assessment of the radiological and clinical outcomes of posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation for spinal deformity in Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Highlights
there is no general consensus regarding the surgical correction of spinal deformity in these patients
Spinal scoliosis and kyphosis were treated with posterior correction
8 patients were treated with instrumentation from the superior thoracic vertebra
