In Brief Study Design. A retrospective, consecutive case study of 1571 pediatric patients who underwent spinal deformity surgery and had minimum 2-year follow-up. Objective. To identify (1) the rate infection after surgery; (2) number surgeries required to treat a postoperative (3) percentage with require implant removal quantify effect on deformity; (4) microbiology infections surgery. Summary Background Data. Several previous reports have discussed rates for deformity. No quantified...
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...
Finite element analysis.Via finite analysis: (1) to demonstrate the abnormal forces present at top of a scoliosis construct, (2) importance an intact interspinous and supraspinous ligament (ISL/SSL) complex, (3) evaluate transition rod (a that has short taper smaller diameter one end) as implant solution diminish these pathomechanics, regardless integrity ISL/SSL complex.The pathophysiology increased nucleus pressure angular displacement may contribute proximal junctional kyphosis....
Object Several studies have characterized the relationship among postoperative thoracic, lumbar, and pelvic alignment in sagittal plane. However, little is known of between thoracic kyphosis cervical patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) treated all pedicle screw constructs. The authors examined this associated factors. Methods A prospective database pediatric AIS undergoing spinal fusion 2003 2005 was reviewed for those who received predominantly constructs Lenke Type 1 or 2...
Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) have become an important treatment option in young patients with spinal deformities. This device allows for gradual lengthening on outpatient setting continuous neurological monitoring awake patient. With its popularity and interest, this study reports the tips, pitfalls, complications of MCGR management scoliosis. On 3 June 2015 at University Hong Kong, 32 participants from 16 regions shared their experience MCGR. Current indications surgery...

The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) of cerebral palsy categorizes patients by mobility. Patients at GMFCS level 5 are considered the most disabled and high risk hip spine problems, yet they represent a wide spectrum function. Our aim was to subclassify who underwent spinal arthrodesis on basis central neuromotor impairments assess whether subclassification predicted postoperative complications changes in health-related quality life.Using prospective registry, we identified...
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....
Background: Selective fusions of the structural curve remain a common treatment strategy for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, yet long-term outcomes are not well-understood. The purpose this study was to report 10-year prospective radiographic and patient-rated selective main thoracic (MT) or thoracolumbar/lumbar (TL/L) curve, with particular attention behavior uninstrumented, compensatory curve. Methods: A prospectively collected multicenter database used identify patients who had been...
Anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT) is a growth-modulation technique theorized to correct adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) without the postoperative stiffness imposed by posterior spinal fusion. However, data are limited small series examining short-term outcomes. To assess AVBT's potential as viable alternative fusion (PSF), comprehensive comparison warranted. The purpose of this meta-analysis was compare outcomes between patients with AIS undergoing PSF and AVBT. Our primary...
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...
There are few data on treatment results for patients with idiopathic infantile scoliosis (IIS). Thus, the authors have performed a retrospective review of their experience treating these patients, particularly as newer technologies, such vertical expandable prosthetic titanium rib (VEPTR), emerge.This study was conducted to evaluate methods used manage IIS at single institution. The reviewed 31 consecutive primary diagnosis IIS. Patients were screened ensure that there no confounding...
Background: Rib-based and spine-based systems are commonly used distraction-based growth friendly treatments for early-onset scoliosis (EOS). Our primary purpose was to determine the risk of developing postoperative proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) during surgery. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective, radiographic comparison performed a group 40 children with EOS who were treated posterior implants. PJK defined as junction sagittal angle (PJA)≥10 degrees PJA at least 10 greater than...
Serial casting for early-onset scoliosis has been shown to improve curve deformity. Our goal was define clinical and radiographic features that determine response treatment.We retrospectively reviewed patients with idiopathic infantile a minimum of 2-year follow-up. Inclusion criteria were: progressive initial before 6 years age. Two groups were analyzed compared: group 1 (≥10-degree improvement in Cobb angle from baseline) 2 (no improvement).Twenty-one an average 48 degrees (range, 24 72...
