Résumé
The kickstand rod has been described for the treatment of severe coronal imbalance. We present a modified description that combines an asymmetric pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) for correction of severe kyphoscoliosis. To describe the use of a temporary kickstand rod. Type 1 osteotomies were performed across the main and fractional curves. An asymmetric PSO was performed at the apex of the main curve, and a kickstand rod placed on the concavity anchored from the ilium to a temporary connector above the main curve. Distraction was applied across the kickstand rod because the PSO was closed on the convexity. A permanent rod was placed contralateral to the kickstand, followed by replacement of the kickstand with a permanent rod and bilateral accessory rods. A 66-year-old man presented with kyphoscoliosis causing severe coronal and sagittal imbalance. He underwent L4-S1 anterior lumbar interbody fusion followed by T4-pelvis instrumented fusion the following day. Type 1 osteotomies were performed from T6-T12 to L3-S1 and an asymmetric PSO at L2. A temporary kickstand rod was used to distract across the concavity because the PSO was closed on the convexity. The patient achieved excellent clinical and radiographical results. When used in conjunction with appropriate osteotomies, the kickstand rod can aid in correction of severe coronal imbalance. Use of a temporary kickstand rod is technically easier and allows for correction of the main and fractional curves when used with an asymmetric PSO.

BACKGROUND
The kickstand rod has been described for the treatment of severe coronal imbalance. We present a modified description that combines an asymmetric pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) for correction of severe kyphoscoliosis.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the use of a temporary kickstand rod.
METHODS
Type 1 osteotomies were performed across the main and fractional curves. An asymmetric PSO was performed at the apex of the main curve, and a kickstand rod placed on the concavity anchored from the ilium to a temporary connector above the main curve. Distraction was applied across the kickstand rod because the PSO was closed on the convexity. A permanent rod was placed contralateral to the kickstand, followed by replacement of the kickstand with a permanent rod and bilateral accessory rods.
RESULTS
A 66-year-old man presented with kyphoscoliosis causing severe coronal and sagittal imbalance. He underwent L4-S1 anterior lumbar interbody fusion followed by T4-pelvis instrumented fusion the following day. Type 1 osteotomies were performed from T6-T12 to L3-S1 and an asymmetric PSO at L2. A temporary kickstand rod was used to distract across the concavity because the PSO was closed on the convexity. The patient achieved excellent clinical and radiographical results.
CONCLUSION
When used in conjunction with appropriate osteotomies, the kickstand rod can aid in correction of severe coronal imbalance. Use of a temporary kickstand rod is technically easier and allows for correction of the main and fractional curves when used with an asymmetric PSO.
