Abstract
Patient-related outcome-based validation of SINS confirms this scoring system for diagnosing neoplastic spinal instability and provides surgeons with a tool to determine which patients will benefit from stabilization. Surgical stabilization of cancer patients with SINS consistent with mechanical instability provides significant reduction in pain and improves patient mobility independent of neurologic status and stabilization technique.
