Li Z, et al. - Experts compared the outcomes of surgical correction of severe and rigid syringomyelia-associated scoliosis (SRSMS) and severe and rigid idiopathic scoliosis (SRIS) from clinical and radiographic perspectives. As per data, similar surgical correction outcomes in SRSMS and SRIS patients were noted. A smaller cranial compensatory curve and better correction of the cranial compensatory curve and thoracic apical vertebral translation were seen in SRIS patients. A higher proportion and greater amount of postoperative coronal imbalance were seen in SRSMS patients, which could be improved during follow-up.
