The ICF framework offers a useful structure for integrating structural findings with functional limitations, psychosocial factors, and contextual influences.

Despite its growing clinical burden, management remains heterogeneous, with decision-making often fragmented across radiographic assessment, treatment planning, and postoperative outcome evaluation. Building on previous reviews of DS, this article provides a structured clinical update that organizes contemporary evidence across diagnostic assessment, individualized treatment selection, perioperative risk optimization, and patient-centered outcomes. A narrative literature review was conducted to evaluate current concepts in DS diagnosis, risk stratification, treatment strategies, and patient-centered outcomes. Relevant literature from major biomedical databases was identified and qualitatively synthesized according to clinical relevance. Current evidence supports a comprehensive assessment of DS that integrates deformity morphology, spinopelvic alignment, segmental degeneration, neurological status, bone quality, and patient-specific risk factors. Beyond coronal Cobb angle measurement, advanced imaging and alignment parameters may provide complementary information for phenotyping and treatment planning. The literature increasingly supports individualized treatment selection based on deformity severity, sagittal imbalance, physiological reserve, neurological status, and functional goals, with options ranging from nonoperative care to minimally invasive or more extensive reconstructive procedures. Surgical planning may also incorporate alignment objectives, biomechanical considerations, complication risk, frailty, and patient-reported outcomes.

Its rising global incidence poses a significant health and socioeconomic burden. Traditional therapies primarily offer symptomatic relief but fail to halt disease progression and are associated with notable limitations. The contemporary understanding of OA pathogenesis has evolved from a model of mechanical wear to one emphasizing systemic imbalance within the joint microenvironment, involving immune dysregulation, metabolic disturbances, cellular senescence, and the gut-joint axis. This paradigm shift supports the development of innovative, disease-modifying strategies. This review is structured around a unifying multi-axis microenvironmental imbalance model for osteoarthritis. It systematically integrates the crosstalk and cascade-amplifying mechanisms of immune dysregulation, cellular senescence, metabolic disturbances, and the gut-joint axis, clarifying that multi-dimensional microenvironmental disruption collectively forms the pathological core of OA. We focus on how renewable biomaterials, engineered exosomes, and their composite systems target and regulate the pathological network to restore joint homeostasis, enabling a paradigm shift from symptomatic management to root-cause intervention. This work provides an integrated theoretical and translational roadmap for next-generation disease-modifying OA therapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":19566,"journal":{"name":"Orthopaedic Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"2032-2044"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13532031/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148866055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
