Key Points

This research aims to explore how different thoracolumbar shapes affect the likelihood and timing of cervical decompensation after spinal surgery.
Analyzed baseline thoracolumbar shape using Roussouly classification
Monitored patients after adult spinal deformity correction
Evaluated cervical decompensation rates and timing based on morphology
Type 1 patients developed cervical decompensation earlier than others
Type 2 patients exhibited delayed onset of cervical decompensation
Type 4 morphology appeared to offer some protection against decompensation

Abstract

Roussouly type influences the timing and likelihood of CD following ASD correction. Type 1 patients tended to develop CD earlier, while type 2 patients showed delayed onset. Type 4 morphology may be protective against CD.
