Abstract
This work enabled us to determine the overall rate of complications after surgical treatment of spinal deformations. Certain risk factors related with complication occurrence were identified, but the heterogeneous nature of the population and the methodology used to identify these factors only allowed detection of trends. A future study by etiological group or focusing on specific complications should allow a more precise analysis of these risk factors. This overall rate of complications should be used to better inform patients and their family about the risks of this type of surgery.
