In Brief Study Design. A retrospective multicenter review of 78 patients with Scheuermann's kyphosis treated operatively was conducted. Objective. The purpose this study to evaluate correction sagittal alignment, maintenance correction, and occurrence of, etiologic factors associated with, junctional in managed for kyphosis. Summary Background Data. There is a paucity literature regarding the surgical treatment using current implant systems operative techniques. Junctional has been shown...
Background: Single-surgeon series investigating the learning curve involved in surgery for spinal deformity may be confounded by changes technology and techniques. Our objective with this multicenter, prospective study was to present a cross-sectional analysis of impact surgeon experience on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Methods: All posterior-only surgical procedures scoliosis performed 2007 2008 academic year, minimum two years patient follow-up, were included. Two groups created basis...
Patient and surgical factors are known to influence operative blood loss in spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), but have only been loosely identified. To date, there no established recommendations guide decisions predonate autologous blood, the current practice is based primarily on surgeon preference. This study designed determine which patient correlated with, predictive of, during AIS.Retrospective analysis of 340 (81 males, 259 females; mean age, 15.2 y) consecutive...
Survey of surgeon members the Scoliosis Research Society.To assess prevalence musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among spine surgeons.Spinal deformity surgery is characterized by long duration and repetitive, forceful tasks. The purpose this study to describe type MSDs orthopedic surgeons.A modified version physical discomfort survey was sent Society via standard mail e-mail. A total 3 attempts contact potential respondents were made, with 62% (561/904 × 100) responding. Mean respondent age 54...
Background: Antifibrinolytics can reduce intraoperative blood loss. The primary aim of this study was to determine the efficacy tranexamic acid, epsilon-aminocaproic and placebo at reducing perioperative loss transfusion rate in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis undergoing posterior spinal arthrodesis. Methods: This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind comparison used intraoperatively scoliosis. One hundred twenty-five were randomly assigned or control groups. Parameters...
Purpose The objective of this investigation was to compare the accuracies bone and Ga-67 scintigraphy magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosing spinal osteomyelitis determine optimal radionuclide approach disorder. Methods Twenty-two patients, with 24 sites possible osteomyelitis, who underwent three-phase SPECT, MRI without contrast were included in retrospective review. Bone scans interpreted as studies, delayed planar images alone, plus SPECT alone (to identify uptake patterns)....
In Brief Study Design. Retrospective chart review and radiographic analysis. Objective. To determine if differences exist in the sagittal alignment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients with thoracic versus thoracolumbar curve patterns. Summary Background Data. Relative anterior overgrowth has been suggested as possible pathomechanism behind scoliosis. Given proposed importance on development AIS known association between pelvic parameters alignment, authors postulate that...
Background: Although achieving clinical success is the main goal in surgical treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, it becoming increasingly important to do so a cost-effective manner. The present study was determine and hospitalization costs, charges, reimbursements for scoliosis correction surgery at one institution. Methods: We performed retrospective review 16,536 individual costs including overall reimbursements, 125 consecutive patients who were managed surgically by three...
Background: Posterior spinal fusion with segmental instrumentation is the gold standard for surgical treatment of thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. More recently, anterior surgery and video-assisted thoracoscopic have become available. The purpose present study was to compare radiographic clinical outcomes as well pulmonary function in patients managed either or posterior surgery. Methods: Radiographic data, Scoliosis Research Society patient-based outcome questionnaires, function,...
In Brief Study Design. This is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded comparison of tranexamic acid (TXA), epsilon aminocaproic (EACA), and placebo used intraoperatively in patients with adult spinal deformity. Objective. The purpose this study was to provide high-quality evidence regarding the comparative efficacies TXA, EACA, reducing blood loss transfusion requirements undergoing posterior fusion surgery. Summary Background Data. Spine deformity surgery usually involves substantial...
Background: Appearance concerns in individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis can result impairment daily functioning, or body image disturbance. The Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire (BIDQ) is a self-reported, seven-question instrument that measures disturbance general populations; no studies have specifically examined those scoliosis. This study aimed to validate modified version of the BIDQ population and establish discriminant validity by comparing responses operatively...
A cross-sectional study.The purpose of this study was to assess intervertebral segmental and cumulative motion in the distal unfused segments spine patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis after instrumentation as a function lowest instrumented level.The implications hyper- or hypomobility are poorly understood. There is little research on changes functional movement capabilities thoracolumbar spinal fusion.Patients were prospectively offered inclusion into institutional review...
Background: Reporting accurate surgical complication rates to patients and their families is important in the management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). In this study, we report rate major complications following treatment AIS both perioperative period among with a minimum 2 years follow-up. Methods: We reviewed prospectively collected data multicenter registry who underwent during 1995 2014 order identify all complications. A was defined as “major” if it resulted reoperation or...
In Brief Study Design. A prospective multicenter study and retrospective chart review. Objective. To compare health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measures sagittal deformity in operative Scheuermann kyphosis (SK), adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), normal populations. Summary Background Data. No to date has evaluated patient reported HRQOL before surgery patients with SK. Methods. data were prospectively collected pretreatment for SK using the SRS-22 outcomes instrument visual analogue...
Background: The true benefits of scoliosis surgery in cerebral palsy (CP) remain uncertain. Our aims were to determine the spinal fusion according health-related quality life (HRQoL) improvement at long-term follow-up and explore effect surgery-related complications on clinical outcomes. Methods: cases consecutive patients who had Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level-IV or V with 5-year from a prospective, longitudinal, multicenter database analyzed. Caregivers completed...
Study Design. Retrospective review of a prospective adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) registry. Objective. To study the evolution operative approach, outcomes, and complication rates in AIS surgery over past 20 years. Summary Background Data. Surgical techniques have evolved considerably We trends management this period their impact on perioperative outcomes. Methods. A total 1819 patients (1995–2013) with 2-year F/U were studied. Operative parameters, major rates, SRS outcomes assessed....
There is substantial heterogeneity in the number of screws used per level fused adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery. Assuming equivalent clinical outcomes, potential cost savings using fewer pedicle were estimated a medical decision model with sensitivity analysis.Descriptive analyses explored annual costs for 5710 AIS inpatient stays discharge data from 2009 Kids' Inpatient Database (Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, Agency Healthcare Research Quality), which national...
Background: Thoracic anterior vertebral body tethering (TAVBT) is an emerging treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Tether breakage a known complication of TAVBT with incompletely incidence. We aim to define the incidence tether in patients scoliosis who undergo TAVBT. The hypothesized be high and increase time postoperatively. Methods: All right-sided, thoracic curves underwent at least 2 up 3 years radiographic follow-up were included. between vertebrae was defined priori as any...
