Adult Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis
Orthopedics, 2017Adult degenerative lumbar scoliosis is a 3-dimensional deformity defined as a coronal deviation of greater than 10°. It causes significant pain and disability in the elderly. With the aging of the population, the incidence of adult degenerative lumbar scoliosis will continue to increase.

Degenerative Symptomatic Lumbar Scoliosis
Spine, 1993Scoliosis with progressive deformity can develop late in life. The authors studied 200 patients older than age 50 years with back pain and recent onset of scoliosis. Seventy-one percent of patients were women, and no patient had undergone spinal surgery. The curves involved the area from T12 to L5 with the apex at L2 or L3 and did not exceed 60 degrees.

Surgery for Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis
SPINE, 2016The RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method is a well-established means of developing criteria for assessing the appropriateness of surgery in specific subpopulations. It involves a systematic review of the literature and ratings by a multidisciplinary panel of national experts.To evaluate the appropriateness of surgical interventions for degenerative lumbar ...

Symptomatic Lumbar Scoliosis With Degenerative Changes in the Elderly
Spine, 1979Lumbar scoliosis with degenerative changes in the elderly presents with spondylosis, variable apophyseal joint arthrosis, laminar hypertrophy, and marginal osteophytos most prominent within the scoliotic apex. Resultant lumbar stenosis, alone or with ventral spurs and herniated discs as isolated or associated lesions, can produce disabling low-back and

Degenerative scoliosis is the most common form of adult scoliosis encountered in clinical practice. The prevalence of this pathology continues to increase in many developed countries as demographics shift to an older population. In contrast to adolescent scoliosis, patients with degenerative scoliosis characteristically present with pain and disability.

Epidemiology of Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis
Spine, 2012A 12-year prospective study of pre-existing and de novo degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) among community-based female volunteers.To investigate serial entire spine radiographs of healthy female volunteers and to clarify radiographical characteristics and predictors of pre-existing and de novo DLS.DLS is among the most frequent spinal defomities in ...

Treatment strategies for degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) range from simple decompression of neural structures or decompression with limited fusion to invasive curve correction manoeuvres with extended fusion procedures. In general, the literature demonstrates that the surgical treatment of DLS patients seems to be superior to conservative care ...

Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis: Evaluation and Management
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2003Degenerative lumbar scoliosis is a lateral deviation of the spine that typically develops after age 50 years. Clinical presentation varies, but the deformity frequently is associated with loss of lordosis, axial rotation, lateral listhesis, and spondylolisthesis.

Basic Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis
2019Degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) or “de novo scoliosis” represents a pathological condition associated with rotational subluxation and anteroposterior or lateral olisthesis leading to coronal deformity. DLS is defined as a coronal Cobb angle of more than 10° but rarely exceeding 50°.

Correction of Degenerative Scoliosis of the Lumbar Spine
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1988The use of the spinal internal skeletal fixation system (ISFS), originally developed for fracture treatment by Dick for the segmental correction of scoliosis, is demonstrated in eight adult degenerative lumbar spinal curves. The two main benefits of an intrapedicular screw fixation system, i.e., excellent skeletal stabilization and the ability to ...
