摘要

After laminectomy, patients are at risk for iatrogenic kyphotic deformity, with the highest incidence in the pediatric population [1, 2, 21]. The skeletal immaturity of young patients predisposes them to this pathology [1, 3]. Management can be difficult, and the flexibility of the deformity plays a significant role in surgical decision-making. Circumferential fixation and fusion techniques are advantageous to ensure adequate correction and successful arthrodesis [14].
