Indication and Treatment of Adult Kyphoscoliosis
Sponsor: University of Bergen
Summary
Degeneration, iatrogenic-/idiopathic causes and fractures can lead to kypho- scoliotic deformities potentially resulting in pain and loss of function. The surgical strategies rely on surgeon preferences and type of deformity as well as clinical symptoms. The complication rate of surgical treatment is high. The aim of this study is to elucidate the indications for surgical treatment of kyphoscoliosis and evaluate the effectiveness of surgical and non-surgical outcome clinically and radiologically. The primary outcome for the PROMs and x-ray is at 12 months, but the investigators will also follow the patients with the PROMs and x-rays after 2,5 and 10 years.
