If sufficientimaging can be performedand there is noidentifiablesite of compression,
closepatientobservationisadequate.
SteroidProtocol
Although its use is debated, methylprednisolone is currently the only recognized
pharmacologicinterventionforthetreatmentofacutespinalcordinjury(SCI).
13
Theuse
of steroids has not been extensively studied in the intra-operative setting; however, we
currentlyadministersteroidstopatientswhohaveacontinuednegativewake-uptest(i.e.,
absence of motor function) after release of tension from corrective and distractive
maneuvers.Thecurrentrecommendedprotocolisaloadingintravenousbolusdoseof30
mg/kgadministered over15 minutes,followedby5.4mg/kg/h asa 23-hourinfusion (if
startedwithin3hoursfromthe timeofinjury).
13
The useofmethylprednisoloneforthe
managementofintraoperativeSCIisnotwelldocumented.Thus,thesurgeonmustweigh
thepotentialbenefitsofimprovedneurologicrecoveryagainstthepossibleincreasedrisk
of infection. The American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of
Neurological Surgeons (AANS/CNS) Joint Section on Disorders of the Spine and
PeripheralNervesGuidelinesCommitteehasindicatedthatmethylprednisoloneforeither
24 or48 hours is an optionin the treatment ofpatients with acute SCIsthat should be
undertakenonlywith theknowledgethat theevidencesuggestingharmful sideeffectsis
moreconsistentthananysuggestionofclinicalbenefit.
Intravenouslidocaine(2mg/kg)forvasodilatationhasbeendescribedfortreatmentofa
postulatedischemicspinalcordaftersegmentalvesselligation.
20
Inexperimentalanimal
models,intrathecalandintravenousvasodilatorshavebeenshowntoenhancespinalcord
perfusion and neuronal protection. However, we have no clinical experience with this
medicationandthuscannotcommentspecificallyonitsusefulness.
PostoperativeManagement
Apatientwithanintraoperativeneurologicinsultshouldbeadmittedtotheintensivecare
unit postoperatively for close monitoring of hemodynamic parameters as well as for
neurologicexaminations.MAPmustbemaintainedat>80mmHgwiththejudicioususe
of intravenousfluid replacement, blood transfusion(ifindicated), or vasopressors when
necessarytomaintaincordperfusion.Aβ-agonist(e.g.,dopamine)canbeusedtomaintain
mean arterial blood pressure if fluid replacement alone is insufficient. A neurologic
examinationshouldbeperformedanddocumentedeveryhourforthefirst12to24hours.
Thismay posea problemifthepatientremains intubatedand sedated.Inthiscase,it is
paramount that the patient be lightened from sedation on an hourly basis for effective
assessmentofneurologicfunction.
DelayedPostoperativeNeurologicComplications
Neurologiccomplications in thepostoperative periodshould bemanaged withthesame
diligenceandmeticulouscareasdescribedforanintraoperativeSCI.Althoughrelatively
uncommon, delayed postoperative SCI may be attributed to progressive spinal cord
ischemiasecondarytotractionortothedevelopmentofanepiduralhematoma.
As with any acute SCI, adequate perfusion of the spinal cord is paramount. Blood
pressureshouldbe meticulouslymonitored,andMAPshouldbe maintainedat>80 mm
Hg in an effort to sustain spinal cord perfusion. Vasopressors (e.g., dopamine) may be
requiredtoattainadequatebloodpressureandcord perfusion.Hemoglobinlevelsshould
alsobe checked toavoid excessivepostoperative anemia.Patient temperatureshould be
maintainedabove 36.5°C.Asteroid protocolmaybe initiatedasindicated aboveforthe
patientwithcontinuedneurologicloss.
Obtainingimagingstudiesbeforereturningthepatienttotheoperatingroommayaidin
delineatingthecauseofthedeficit.Thiswillenablethesurgeontoplanthepropercourse
ofaction,whetherthatinvolvesreexplorationforlocalizeddecompressionofanevolving
epiduralhematoma,releaseofcorrection,orremoval ofinstrumentationtocorrectspinal
cordischemiasecondarytoexcessivetensioning.ReimagingwithCTorMRIscanscanbe
omitted if obtaining these studies would result in a substantial time delay. Early
decompression may improve neurologic outcome for the patient with new-onset
neurologic deficit in the acute postoperative period. Conversely, if no abnormality is
identified on CT or MRI scan, the patient may be observed closely with supportive
treatment.
ChapterSummary
The surgical treatment ofcomplexadult spinal deformity has advanced significantly in
recenttimeswiththeuseofpediclescrew-basedinstrumentationandtheincreasingroleof
complex three-column osteotomies to optimize deformity correction. The correction of
large magnitude coronal and sagittal plane deformity is becoming more common.
However, the technical demands involved in restoration of spinopelvic alignment and
sagittal and coronal balance in large-magnitude deformities has a significant risk of
neurologiccomplications,withpotentiallydevastatingclinicalandfunctionalsequelae.It
isimportantthatspinalsurgeonsuseanalgorithmforthesafeandeffectivemanagement
ofneurologicsequelaeassociatedwithASDsurgerysoastooptimizepatientmanagement
andfunctionaloutcome.
Pearls
Neurologicsafetyduringspinaldeformitysurgeryrequirespreoperativepreparation,intraoperativemultimodality
spinalcordmonitoring,andpostoperativediligence.
AcombinationofSSEP,MEP,andEMGmonitoringisnecessaryforcomprehensiveassessmentandevaluation
ofneurologicfunctionduringASDsurgery.
AppropriateresponsestoanylossofdegradationofSCMdataandtowarningcriteriashouldincludeaspectrum
of responses aimed at optimizing spinal cord blood supply and minimizing any direct or indirect tension or
pressureontheneuralelements.
 To confirm the patient’s neurologic integrity, one must always perform a detailed motor exam of the lower
extremitiesattheendofthesurgicalprocedurebeforethepatientisextubatedandleavestheoperatingroom.
Pitfalls
OnemustidentifythosepatientswhoareathighriskofneurologiccomplicationsduringASDsurgery,including
those with preexisting neurologic abnormalities, an abnormal neural axis on MRI exam, or large and stiff
kyphoticdeformities.
Notrespondingto or trustingtheSCMpersonnelanddataina timely fashioncanhavedevastatingneurologic
sequelae.
Onemustbecarefulwiththosepatientskeptintubated/sedatedfollowingextensiveASDsurgeryinordernotto
missadelayedneurologiccomplicationduetotheinabilitytoobtainanadequateneurologicexamonafrequent
basis.

GeneralIntroductionofAdultScoliosis
Adultscoliosisisdefinedasanabnormaldeformityinanadult,withCobbangle greater
than 10 degrees in the coronal plane, with or without sagittal imbalance or abnormal
pelvic orientation.
1
 In the elderly population, a variety of prevalence rates have been
reported asa result of differencesin definitions ofscoliosis, sample size,ethnicity,and
screeningtools. In astudy ofvolunteers who wereover 60years of age,Schwab etal
2
foundthat68%ofthesubjectsmetthedefinitionofscoliosis.AsreportedbyXuetal,
3
the
prevalenceofscoliosiswas13.3%inacohortof2395adultsolderthan40yearsofage.
Adultscoliosismaystemfromprogressionofscoliosisduringchildhoodoradolescence
(Fig.7.1), ormay benewly developedin adulthoodthrough degenerativechanges (Fig.
7.2). Theformer condition is referred toadult idiopathic scoliosis, whereasthe latter is
termeddegenerativescoliosisordenovoscoliosis.Incontrasttoadolescents,adultswith
scoliosis characteristically present with back pain, radiculopathy, and neurogenic
claudication. Cosmesis is a concern of some young adult scoliosis patients. They often
complainofwaistasymmetryandribsabuttingthepelvis,asaresultofimbalanceinthe
coronalplaneorthesagittalplane.
For adult scoliosis, nonoperative care is usually the first-line treatment option.
Nevertheless, surgerymay be inevitable when nonoperative measures fail. The primary
indications for surgery of adult scoliosis are (1) progressive deformity, (2) poor spinal
balance causing functional difficulties, (3) large deformity threatening cardiopulmonary
compromise, (4) neurologic manifestations, (5) persistent pain that fails to respond to
nonoperativetreatment, and (6)unacceptable cosmeticappearance.
1,4–6
 Bess etal,
7
 ina
multicenterreviewof290patients withadultscoliosis,reportedthatoperativetreatment
forolderpatientswasprimarilydrivenbypainanddisability,independentofradiographic
measurements,and,foryoungerpatients,byincreasedcoronalplanedeformity.Although
operative management of adult scoliosis is a growing challenge, a variety of surgical
optionshasbeenemployed,includeposterior,anterior,orcombinedapproaches.Silvaand
Lenke
6
proposedsixdistinctlevelsofsurgicaloptionsforadultdegenerativescoliosis:I,
decompressionalone;II,decompressionandlimitedinstrumentedposteriorspinalfusion;
III,decompressionandlumbarcurveinstrumentedfusion;IV,decompressionwithanterior
andposteriorspinalinstrumentedfusion;V,thoracicinstrumentationandfusionextension;
andVI,inclusionofosteotomiesforspecificdeformities.
Fusionlevelsshouldstartproximallyatastablevertebra,typicallyaboveT6orbelow
T10,andenddistallyataneutralandstablevertebra.Theproximallevelneverstartsatthe
thoracic kyphosis apex, avoidingproximaljunctional kyphosis, whereas the distal level
neverendsatalevelwithrotatorysubluxation.ThedecisionofwhethertoincludeL5or
the sacrum in the fusion is controversial.
8,9
 Fusion distally to L5 offers the theoretical
benefits of preserved lumbosacral motion, shorter surgical time, and a decreased
likelihood of pseudarthrosis; on the other hand, it carries the potential for accelerated
symptomaticadvanceddegenerationattheL5/S1disk,whichinturnultimatelyresultsin
axial discomfort, radiculopathy, and loss of lumbosacral lordosis. In contrast to L5,
fusions extendedto the sacrum achievea higher stabilityof fixation as wellas a better
correction of sagittal imbalance, but this procedure also runs the risk of an increasing
chanceofpseudarthrosis,agreaterfrequencyofmajorcomplications,andahigherrateof
instrumentationfailure.
8,9
Arecentstudyalsofoundfusiontothesacrumtobeoneofthe
riskfactorsofproximaljunctionalkyphosis.
10
Non-controversialindicationsforfusionto
the sacrum include the following
6
: (1) an oblique take-off of L5 on the sacrum, (2) a
lumbosacralfractionalcurve>15degrees,(3)advanceddegenerationoftheL5/S1diskor
theL5/S1facetjoints,(4)L5/S1spondylolisthesis,and(5)priorhistoryofdecompression
atthissegment.Whenfusiontothesacrumcannotbeavoided,itisimportanttoperform
aninterbodyfusionbetweenL5andS1todecreasetheriskofanonunion.

DifferentiatingBetweenDegenerativeandIdiopathic
Scoliosis
Anessentialpremiseofthetreatmentofspinaldeformityinparticularisunderstandingits
etiology.Aebi
1
developedin2005aclassificationforadultscoliosisbasedontheetiology:
type 1, de novo scoliosis; type 2, progressive idiopathic scoliosis; type 3a, secondary
degenerativescoliosis, duetoa preexistingcondition,eitherintrinsic(adjacentcurve)or
extrinsic(lowerlimblengthdiscrepancy)tothespine;andtype3b,scoliosissecondaryto
metabolic bone disease. However, it is difficult to differentiate the clinical etiology in
elderlypatients whoareunable toprovide eitheramedical historyor informationabout
theirspinal deformity.As thereisa paucityof informationin theliterature, thischapter
describes several experience-based radiographic criteria that may help to differentiate
betweendenovoandidiopathicscoliosis.
Fig.7.2a–dAdultdegenerativescoliosisina65-year-oldwoman.(a)StandingX-rayfilmsshowedaright-sidedlumbar
curve,rotatorysubluxationat L3/4, and regional kyphosisfrom L3toL5aswellassagittal imbalance. (b)Magnetic
resonance imaging of advanced disk degeneration showed dark disks with narrowed disk height. (c,d) Computed
tomographyscansdemonstratedthevacuumphenomenonaswellascanalstenosisinthelowerlumbarregion.
ApicalDiskHeight
Inde novoscoliosis, asymmetricaldisk degenerationhasbeen regardedas theinitiating
factor that contributes to the occurrence of degenerative scoliosis. Asymmetric
degenerationintheapicaldisksleadstoasymmetricdiskcollapse,inducingacurvatureby
pivoting on the apical facet joint at the concave side, which in turn exacerbates more
degenerationofthe disksontheconcave sidethanontheconvexsideandthenstart the
vicious circle. Bao et al
11
 also found that regional lumbar disk degeneration correlated
withthecoronalCobbangle,confirmingthatasymmetricdiskdegenerationcontributedto
the development of de novo scoliosis. We observed that the convex disk height was
significantlylessindenovoscoliosis(Fig.7.2)thaninidiopathicscoliosis(Fig.7.1).
CurvePattern
Themajorityofdegenerativescoliosisaffectsthelumbarorthoracolumbarspine,andtheir
curve patterns may be different from that of idiopathic scoliosis. Because the original
pathogenesisofdenovoscoliosisisthedegenerationofdiskandfacetjoints,theapexof
thelumbarcurveisoftenlocatedattheintervertebralspace.Themostcommonapexofde
novoscoliosisistheintervertebralspaceofL2/3orL3/4,oftenwithashortercurvespan.
Inaddition,thelevelsinvolvedinthedegenerativecurvearegenerallythreetofourlevels,
whereasfourtosixlevelsaremorecommoninidiopathiccurves.
RegularityofApicalVertebra
Inadditiontocurvepatterns,the apicalvertebrain denovoscoliosisisoftenirregularly
wedged.Osteophytes,end-plateabruption,andosteoporoticminorfracturearecommonly
seenindegenerativevertebrae,sotheshapeofvertebramaynotberegularlytrapezoid.In
contrast, wedging of apical vertebra, if any, is usually regular in idiopathic lumbar
scoliosis.
CompensatoryCurveAbovetheMainCurve
Regular compensatory curves proximal to the main curve in idiopathic scoliosis may
develop during adolescence, and serve as a way to re-balance the distal
thoracolumbar/lumbar curve in the coronal plane (Fig. 7.1). That explains why global
coronal imbalance is less frequent in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis cases with double
curve patterns, owingtothe compensatory curve and its compensatory abilityfrom the
diskal,pelvic,andcertainlyspinalmuscularstructureaswell.Thisbalancingpatternmay
continue into adulthood and last for a long time. This feature of compensatory curves
couldserveasanimportantradiographicsigntodifferentiatethesetwoentities.
Patientswith de novoscoliosis oftenpresent earlywith coronalor sagittalimbalance
due to the less effective compensative curves above the imbalance. In contrast with
sagittal imbalance, there is paucity of information in the literature on the incidence of
coronalimbalanceindenovoscoliosis.Basedonourstudy,
11
aboutonethirdofpatients
withdenovoscoliosismaypresentwithcoronalimbalanceduetoalackofcompensatory
curves.Similarto thefunctionalscoliosisseeninyoungindividualswithdisk herniation
or otherlower back diseases,trunk shifting isnot uncommon inde novo scoliosiswith
stenosis because of the pain-alleviating mechanism. This trunk shifting or coronal
imbalancewithspinalcurvemaybecomestructuralwithtime.
CorrelationBetweentheCobbAngleandImbalance
The discrepancy between the Cobb angle and imbalance in de novo scoliosis is an
interestingfinding.Degenerativecurvesalwaysareshorterthantheidiopathiccurvesand
have a smaller Cobb angle. As mentioned earlier, coronal imbalance is an important
featureof de novoscoliosis, whateverthe Cobbangle, whereassignificant imbalanceis
mostlywitnessedinadultidiopathicscoliosiswithseverecurves.Therefore,asmallCobb
anglewithobviouscoronalimbalanceindicatesthatthecurvemightbedegenerative(Fig.
7.2).
CorrectionAbilityofRotatorySubluxation
Vertebral rotatorysubluxation (VRS)isatriaxialdeformity,predominantlyat theL3/L4
level,withfemale predominance.Althoughit ismorelikely tooccurinpatients withde
novoscoliosisattheearlystageofthedeformity,itcouldalsooccurduringthelatecourse
ofadultidiopathicscoliosis.Atourcenter,wefoundthatthecorrectabilityofVRSunder
traction or on side-bending films could be used to differentiate de novo scoliosis and
idiopathic scoliosis. In the former, reduction of VRS under tractionor on side bending
maynotbeachievedbecauseoftherigidityfromvertebraldegenerationatthesubluxation
level,including diskcollapse, osteophytes,and spontaneousvertebralor facetfusion. In
contrast,inidiopathicscoliosis,VRScouldbepartiallyreducedundertractionoronside
bending.
DiscrepancyBetweentheCobbAngleandRotatory
Subluxation
AtourcenterwenotedthatVRSwasmoreliketooccurwhentheCobbangleincreasedin
casesof idiopathicscoliosis.However,inde novoscoliosis,VRSmayoccur atitsearly
stage,anditsonsetandseveritymaynotnecessarilybecorrelatedwiththeCobbangle.In
otherwords,VRSindenovoscoliosismaydevelopevenincaseswithasmallcurve.
TheOriginofStenosis
Accordingtothedefinitionofdenovoscoliosis,itsprimarycauseisthedegenerationof

patients due to deformity-induced paraspinal muscle fatigue, whereas neurogenic back
