The Latino-American Spine Society (SILACO) and the Spanish Spine Society (GEER) have joined together this June to celebrate a combined meeting. Out of 80 oral presentations the award wining selected presentation went to the ESSG group for their study on Sagittal Plane restoration in Adult Scoliosis patients.
This is the first study describing the importance of ideal sagittal plane restoration in deformity surgery. The conclusion was that not restoring the patient back to the ideal sagittal profile could increase the risk for mechanical complications during follow-up.
