Staged Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion Targeting Driver and Compensatory Structural Segments for Adult Degenerative Scoliosis: A Novel Strategy and Early Outcomes.

Targeting driver and compensatory structural segments via lateral lumbar interbody fusion is an effective, minimally invasive strategy for adult degenerative scoliosis.

It offers substantial deformity correction, symptom relief, and progressive postoperative self-correction while significantly reducing surgical trauma compared to traditional long-segment fusions.
