Scoliosis Research Society-Funded Research, Conducted by Member Doctors is Published in the Journal of American Medical Association -- Surgery

Join our host, Dr. Byron Stephens, as he speaks with Dr. Michael Kelly and Dr. Steven Glassman, two of the authors of Scoliosis Research Society–funded research recently published in the Journal of American Medical Association -- Surgery. Congratulations to all the authors on this outstanding achievement!

The study, Long-Term Outcomes of Operative Versus Nonoperative Treatment for Adult Symptomatic Lumbar Scoliosis (ASLS): Durability of Treatment Effects and Impact of Related Serious Adverse Events Through 8-Year Follow-Up, was published in the Journal on April 2, 2025.

To bring the study to its full 8-year follow up allowing for the JAMA publication, funding was provided by the SRS and several of the SRS industry partners and the International Spine Study Group . The SRS community and the study investigators appreciate the additional investments provided above and beyond their support of SRS, made by Globus Medical, K2M/Stryker Spine, Medtronic, NuVasive, and Zimmer Biomet.
