Video Summary
In this video, Dr. Joe Chang discusses various curve correction techniques in spinal deformity surgery. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the pathophysiology and pathomechanics of the spine, rather than just focusing on the technical aspects of the surgery. He highlights the need for patient-centric treatment, taking into account factors such as the patient's mobility, wheelchair-bound versus upright, and pelvic incidence. Dr. Chang explains different curve correction methods, including in situ bending, segmental correction, and de-rotation techniques. He also discusses the use of osteotomies and the choice of implant materials based on their yield strength and stiffness. Dr. Chang concludes by emphasizing the need for clinical and radiographic data to assess the flexibility or fixation of the curve. Overall, his talk provides insights into the considerations and techniques involved in curve correction in spinal deformity surgery.
