Perioperative outcomes of severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients with Cobb angle ≥ 100°: Feasibility of single-staged posterior spinal fusion with radical facetectomies
The use of a single-staged PSF with radical facetectomies without major osteotomies is a compelling and feasible surgical strategy for severe AIS patients with Cobb angle ≥100°. This surgical approach not only demonstrates efficacy in achieving satisfactory results but also showcases a notable reduction in the complication rate and a shorter hospital stay.
