Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue seeks to explore cutting-edge developments in understanding, diagnosing, and treating scoliosis and related spinal deformities. We invite submissions that address innovations in surgical techniques, including minimally invasive approaches and their impact on patient outcomes. Topics of interest include compensation mechanisms after deformity correction and risk stratification to improve surgical safety and efficacy. Contributions that examine long-term functional outcomes, postoperative complications, or the management of complex cases with concurrent conditions are highly encouraged. This issue aims to foster multidisciplinary research that enhances personalized care and advances therapeutic strategies for scoliosis and related spinal deformities, ultimately improving the quality of life for affected patients.

Dr. Peter G. Passias
Guest Editor
