Abstract:
Degenerative scoliosis is one of the important reasons of low back pain in middle-aged and elderly. The surgical treatment has been gradually paid more attention to in recent years. Pain and the quality of life are the key points of the surgical treatment. In addition to neurogenic compression,clinical symptoms and health-related quality of life are also closely related to the three-dimensional deformity of spine. Researchers try to employ different classifications of degenerative scoliosis to guide personalizedly surgical treatment. In the future,osteoporosis and complications may be the research highlights in the surgical treatment of degenerative scoliosis.
