PurposeWith advancements in minimally invasive techniques, oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) has gained widespread acceptance and is now commonly performed for adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS). The objective of this research paper is to evaluate three-dimensional (3D) intervertebral motions in EOS models before and after surgery and subsequently assess the efficacy of the 3D correction achieved through staged OLIF.MethodsIn this retrospective study, 29 consecutive patients diagnosed with ADS were included, with a mean age of 63.6 years, who underwent staged OLIF surgery between 2018 and 2021. Spinopelvic parameters were assessed using EOS images, and 3D models were reconstructed to measure intervertebral motion angles (IMAs) in 70 surgical intervertebral segments, comprising wedge, lordosis, and axial rotation angles. Regression analysis was conducted to compare IMAs in different planes before and after the staged OLIF surgery.ResultsSignificant three-dimensional correction was observed in 70 intervertebral segments following the first-stage OLIF. The wedge angles decreased from 5.2°± 4.2° to 2.7°± 2.4° (P
