improvement of the treatment of this disease considering its high impact on patient's daily life has to be centred not only on radiographic results and intraoperative technologies but all the possibility of outcome prediction with machine learning algorithms has to be also considered and implemented.Aim of this Research Topic was both to explore how the management of spinal deformities has evolved over time and identify the new perspectives and technological innovation in this field.The first contribution of the volume by Ciani et al. deals with a rare case of Familial dysautonomia (FD), a severe congenital disease with a high incidence of kyphoscoliosis. The treatment and life expectation of this pathology is improved, the diagnosis of kyphoscoliosis is increased and nowadays in specialized centres the surgical treatment for deformities in rare disease is became common. The use of new devices like silver coted instrumentation and the use of new bioglasses allowed a surgical treatment in a severe compromised patient with a high risk of infection and a severe deformity, in which all the conservative treatment have failed. considering age and ethnicity of the patients. The authors after a careful analysis of a large series of patients conclude that the appropriate PI-LL is affected by PI and age. As the age increased, the LL needed to be restored could be reduced in order to improve the clinical outcome.The central theme of this volume was really fulfilled from these contributions, and we hope in the future the interest in applying new techniques and technological innovations to improve care standards in the treatment of spine deformities of different aetiologies could allow to reduce the risk of complications, and provide pre-operative individualized counselling regarding optimal treatment approaches.
