An expert panel will be asked to give their treatment recommendations on presented cases with Degenerative Scoliosis. The audience will also be invited to participate in the debates and discussions along with the panelists. The findings of the Rand/SRS Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) Study for Degenerative Scoliosis will also be presented.
Upon completion of this session, participants should gain strategies to:
- Identify indications for surgical treatment of degenerative scoliosis;
- Determine appropriate indications for decompression alone, decompression and fusion, and decompression and fusion with deformity correction;
- Determine when to fuse long and when to fuse short.
