OBJECTIVE: To explore a simple and effective surgery for correcting severe @entity85 caused by @entity1691 ( @entity1691 ). MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 2003 to December 2009, we respectively reviewed 32 @entity1 with severe @entity1513 caused by @entity1691 with at least 2-year follow-up. @entity1 were divided into two groups, according to surgical methods: transpedicular bivertebrae wedge osteotomy (Group A) or one-stage interrupted two-level transpedicular wedge osteotomy (Group B). We recorded operating time and @entity190 . Variation between pre- and post-operative sagittal imbalance, global spinal alignments (Cobb angle of T1 and L5, TLKA), @entity1515 , chin-brow vertical angle, thoracolumbar @entity1513 angle in both groups were analyzed. RESULTS: The average operating time was 236  39min and the average @entity190 was 2200  712ml in Group A, and 252  43min, 2202  737ml respectively in Group B. There were no significant differences in operating time and @entity190 . Variation between pre- and post-operative sagittal imbalance, global spinal alignments, @entity1515 and chin-brow vertical angle (CBVA) were comparable between the two groups. The variation of thoracolumbar @entity1513 angle was significantly greater in Group B compared with Group A. SRS-22 scores were similar in the two groups at the 2-year follow-up and significantly improved compared with preoperative. CONCLUSIONS: For correcting severe @entity1513 in @entity1 with @entity1691 , the one-stage interrupted two-level transpedicular wedge osteotomy is a safe and effective technique which can significantly improve the thoracolumbar @entity1513 angle.

Comparison of two surgeries in treatment of severe @entity85 caused by XXXX : Transpedicular bivertebrae wedge osteotomy versus one-stage interrupted two-level transpedicular wedge osteotomy.
