The overall incidence of pseudarthrosis following long adult spinal deformity instrumentation and fusions to S1 was 23%. Thoracolumbar kyphosis, osteoarthritis of the hip joint, incomplete sacropelvic fixation, thoracoabdominal approach (vs. paramedian approach), and age at surgery (>55 years) significantly increased the risks of pseudarthrosis to an extent that was statistically significant. SRS-24 outcomes scores were adversely affected when pseudarthrosis developed.
