About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to explore how the management of spinal deformities has evolved over time and identify new perspectives to transition from a physician-based assessment to a patient-centered perception of improvement. The central theme of this volume is the advancements in treating this broad population, with a particular interest in applying new techniques and technological innovations to enhance care standards, reduce complications, and provide pre-operative individualized counselling regarding optimal treatment approaches.
To gain further insights into the management of spine deformities, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Current status of managing spine deformities considering all possible different aetiologies (scoliosis, hyperkyphosis, post-traumatic deformity, oncologic deformity) in young adults and adults, excluding the geriatric population;
- New frontiers in treating these complex diseases, including innovative surgical techniques and integrated approaches between different specialties;
- Technological evolution in the field.
Please note that while original articles and reviews will be considered for publication, other article types of particular interest may also be considered.
