Establishing a Staging System for Adjacent Segment Disease and Exploring Its Significance in Guiding Surgical Decisions: A Retrospective Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1418-1432, May 2025.
Developed a staging system for adjacent segment disease based on degeneration characteristics. Verified the feasibility and reliability of stage‐guided surgical decision‐making through surgical data, radiological data, and follow‐up data. This staging system was closely correlated with intervertebral disc degeneration and disc height while also ...

Staged Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion Targeting Driver and Compensatory Structural Segments for Adult Degenerative Scoliosis: A Novel Strategy and Early Outcomes

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 11, Page 2405-2416, November 2026.
Targeting driver and structural vertebrae via LLIF is an effective, minimally invasive strategy for ADS. It offers substantial deformity correction, symptom relief, and progressive postoperative self‐correction while significantly reducing surgical trauma compared to traditional long‐segment fusions.
