STUDY DESIGN: Case series. PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to investigate the change in pulmonary function in adult @entity1 with a @entity85 who underwent spinal corrective surgery. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE: @entity1798 are is often prominent in adult @entity85 cases, whereas a @entity85 involving the chest wall is inconspicuous. @entity85 could affect the pulmonary function; however, few reports have investigated pulmonary function in adult @entity1 with a @entity85 . METHODS: This study included 14 adult @entity1 with a @entity85 who underwent posterior corrective fusion (3 males, 11 females; mean age, 67.4 years). We measured percent vital capacity (%VC) and percent forced expiratory volume in 1 second (%FEV1) before surgery and six months after surgery. We investigated the change in pulmonary function after corrective surgery and the correlation between radiographic parameters and pulmonary function. RESULTS: Mean preoperative %VC and %FEV1 values were 99.9% and 79.3%, respectively. Two cases were diagnosed with @entity73 , and two cases were diagnosed with @entity73 before surgery. %VC improved in the @entity73 cases six months after surgery. However, %FEV1 did not improve significantly after surgery in the @entity73 cases. CONCLUSIONS: Restrictive impairment was improved in adult @entity1 with a @entity85 by corrective spinal surgery. However, spinal surgery did not improve @entity73 .
