  Study design: Prospective matched-control comparison study. Objective: To prospectively compare deformity correction and measures of perioperative morbidity between minimally invasive posterior spinal fusion and conventional open posterior procedures in age- and curve classificationmatched individuals. Summary of background data: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has evolved in an effort to decrease the rate of approach-related morbidity associated with conventional open procedures for spinal disorders. Its widespread use in spinal trauma and degenerative disorders has yielded similar clinical results to open techniques with the added benefit of optimizing peri-operative morbidity. No report has been made comparing the clinical results of MIS to conventional open procedures in the s.. Read More»
