Coronal deformity correction techniques are used to address abnormal alignment of the spine in the coronal plane, which refers to the side-to-side curvature of the spine. These techniques aim to restore proper alignment and balance to the spine, thus improving function and relieving symptoms.

One common technique for correcting coronal deformities is spinal fusion, which involves joining two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine and correct the deformity. The fusion may be performed using various methods including the use of bone grafts, rods, screws, and cages to secure the vertebrae in the corrected position.

In some cases, additional procedures such as osteotomies, may be necessary to reshape or reposition the vertebrae to achieve proper alignment. Osteotomies involve surgically cutting and reshaping the bone to correct the deformity. These techniques can be performed using traditional open surgery or minimally invasive approaches, depending on the individual patient's condition and surgical goals.

It's important to note that the specific technique used for correcting coronal deformities may vary depending on factors such as the underlying cause of the deformity, the severity of the misalignment, and the overall condition of the patient. Therefore, a thorough evaluation by a spine specialist is crucial in determining the most appropriate technique for each individual case.

Please consult with a qualified healthcare professional for personalized advice and recommendations based on your specific condition.
