Combined lateral transpsoas anterior column realignment with pedicle subtraction osteotomy to treat severe sagittal plane deformity: Cadaveric feasibility study and early clinical experience

Traditional open approaches to correct lumbar spine deformities include 3-column osteotomies, such as a pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO). Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques have been developed for lateral transpsoas anterior column realignment (ACR). These 2 techniques have not previously been combined. Our objective was to investigate the cadaveric feasibility of a combined hybrid MIS ACR-PSO technique for deformity correction and review early clinical experience.
