Comparison of surgical and conservative treatment for degenerative lumbar scoliosis
Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2008Demographic changes create an expansion of the elderly population segment of society. Demands of mobility and quality of life have increased in this age group over the last decades. A rising number of elderly patients suffering from degenerative "de novo" lumbar scoliosis (DLS) may be eligible for surgical options to treat their spinal deformities ...

Adult degenerative lumbar scoliosis.
American journal of orthopedics (Belle Mead, N.J.), 2003Degenerative scoliosis of the lumbar spine affects a significant number of adults. Although the etiology of this condition is not clear, the most commonly implicated causes include osteoporosis and degenerative disc disease. Clinically, patients with this condition most commonly complain of axial low back pain, but they may also present with radicular ...

Serum cartilage metabolites as biomarkers of degenerative lumbar scoliosis
Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 2012AbstractSeveral biomarkers have been used to evaluate osteoarthritis of the limb joints. Here we evaluated the use of serum cartilage metabolites as biomarkers for degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS). Fifty‐two DLS patients with Cobb angle > 10° were compared with 19 control patients.

Surgical treatments for degenerative lumbar scoliosis: a meta analysis
European Spine Journal, 2015Degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) is a spinal deformity that typically develops in adults over 50 years old. Although its etiology is unclear, asymmetric degeneration of the spine is the main cause. Individuals with DLS may experience no symptoms of the deformity, mild symptoms, or severe disability.

[Degenerative lumbar scoliosis and spinal stenosis].
Der Orthopade, 1993Of the types of degenerative lumbar spine deformities, the combination of scoliosis and spinal stenosis is one of the most disabling and progressive conditions in elderly patients. Therapeutic resignation is frequent. In spite of old age and severe osteoporosis 31 patients were treated operatively by reduction, fusion and decompression.

Surgical Management of Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis
1993Among the spinal deformities in the aged, degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) has been attracting attention together with degenerative lumbar kyphosis, and there has been active discussion on the pathogenesis and treatment of DLS in recent years. The purpose of this study was to investigate the surgical management of symptomatic DLS in the light of how

To investigate the imaging differences between degenerative scoliosis (DS) with or without degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS).124 patients who underwent DS correction were enrolled in this study. Group A comprised 58 patients with DS with DLS, and group B comprised 66 patients with DS without DLS. Preoperative, postoperative, and 2-year follow-
