Anterior release & posterior spinal fusion vs. posterior-only fusion in AIS patients with large magnitude thoracic curves

European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology | 2026 | Anabelle Permutt, Zacharia Silk, Julian Leong, Hilali Noordeen

Abstract Purpose The surgical management of severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains a subject of ongoing discussion among spine-deformity surgeons. While there has been a prevailing shift towards posterior-only fusion (PF) techniques, anterior release with posterior fusion (ARPF) may still be valuable for the correction of large or stiff curves. This study compared...

The CT Classification of Multilevel Cervical Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament to Guide Hybrid Anterior Controllable Antedisplacement and Fusion vs. Posterior Laminoplasty

Orthopaedic Surgery | 2024 | Shunmin Wang, Haibo Song, Ximing Xu, Shiyong Ling

ObjectiveFor precise and minimally invasive treatment of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine, the lifting segment is minimized, anterior controllable antedisplacement and fusion (ACAF) was refined and improved. In addition, the development of appropriate surgical procedures for the ossification of each segment was rarely reported. Therefore...

Posterior-only vs. combined posterior-anterior approaches in treating lumbar and lumbosacral spinal tuberculosis: a retrospective study with minimum 7-year follow-up

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research | 2020 | Zheng Liu, Penghui Zhang, Weiwei Li, Zhengchao Xu

Abstract Background There is no comparative study with long-term follow-up between posterior-only and combined posterior-anterior approaches in treating lumbar spinal tuberculosis (LSTB) and lumbosacral spinal tuberculosis (LSSTB). This retrospective study aimed to compare and evaluate the long-term outcomes of these two surgical approaches in LSTB and LSSTB. Methods Thirty pat...
