Evaluation of Discrepancy Between Radiographic Success and Patient Satisfaction in Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery
A sizable proportion (24.1%) of patients were dissatisfied with the surgical outcomes despite satisfactory radiographic results. Although the patients benefited from surgery for pain and functional improvement, postoperative lumbar stiffness-related functional disabilities adversely affected patient satisfaction. Therefore, before deciding on surgical treatment, patients should be fully informed of this trade-off between pain/disability and lumbar stiffness.
