Long-Term Clinical Benefits of Age-Adjusted Sagittal Correction in Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery: Results From Patient Grouping Using a Hierarchical Cluster Analysis
Hierarchical cluster analysis effectively stratified ASD patients based on postoperative sagittal parameter offsets and identified a balanced alignment (cluster B) that optimizes clinical outcomes and minimizes mechanical complications. These results suggest a practical and nuanced approach to sagittal alignment correction in ASD surgery, emphasizing the integration of multiple parameters for improved outcomes.
