Risk factors for mechanical complications in degenerative lumbar scoliosis with concomitant thoracolumbar kyphosis: does the selection of the upper instrumented vertebra matter?
The presence of UIV in the KA area, preoperative sagittal imbalance, and osteoporosis were identified as significant risk factors for MC in patients with DLS and concomitant TLK. The spinal morphological characteristics of TLK must be taken into account during surgical planning to prevent placing the UIV within the kyphotic region.
