While deformity surgery is much less commonly performed for MFS than AIS, it is not uncommonly considered for patients with this condition. Despite some known technical challenges for MFS deformity surgery, the current study leveraged a large, national database to find that 90-day adverse events and 5-year reoperations were not different for matched MFS and AIS patients undergoing deformity surgery. For select patients, these findings should be useful for surgical planning and patient counseling.
