  Background: According to current literature, surgical management of Adult Scoliosis (AS) can benefit selected patients, especially when concurrent sagittal deformities are balanced. This retrospective study analyzes this hypothesis by matching clinical and radiological results after AS surgical correction in selected cases. The study also analyzes the possible correlation between mechanical failure events and residual postoperative sagittal imbalance. Materials and Methods: 12 patients, average aged 57 years, underwent AS surgical correction. Today, these patients have a follow up range from 24 months to 71 months (average 53.6 months). Values related to scoliotic curve, lordosis, kyphosis and pelvic parameters (Pelvic Incidence, PI; Pelvic tilt, PT; Sacral Slope, SS; Sagittal Vertical Axis, SVA) were measured and registered pr..
