Sagittal Imbalance Correction: Lateral ALL Release versus PSO

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Dr. Juan Uribe discusses the sagittal imbalance correction procedure using the anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL) release and hyperlordotic implants. He explains that the key to the procedure is ensuring it is a lengthening procedure, as just wedging the patient without posterior height can lead to foraminal stenosis. Dr. Uribe shows different grades of the procedure and how each grade provides different levels of lordosis. He also discusses the importance of using screws to fixate the hyperlordotic cage and prevent it from falling into the peritoneal cavity. Dr. Uribe concludes by showcasing a case where he combines open and minimally invasive techniques to correct sagittal imbalance.
