Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a progressive deformity of the spine. Scoliotic curves progress until skeletal maturity leading, in rare cases, to severe deformity. While Cobb angle straightforward tool initial curve magnitude measurement, assessing risk progression at time diagnosis may be more challenging. Epigenetic and genetic markers are potential prognostic tools predict progression. The aim this study review available literature regarding epigenetic factors associated with...
Proximal Junctional Disease (PJD) and Surgical Site Infection (SSI) are among the most common complications following spine surgery. Their risk factors not fully understood. Among them, sarcopenia osteopenia have recently been attracting interest. The aim of this study is to evaluate their influence on mechanical or infective after lumbar fusion. Patients who underwent open posterior fusion were analyzed. Through preoperative MRI, central measured with Psoas Lumbar Vertebral Index (PLVI)...
Study Design: This was a retrospective study. Objective: Since better understanding of modifiable risk factors for proximal junctional disease (PJD) may lead to improved postoperative outcomes and less need revision surgery, the aim present study is determine whether sarcopenia osteopenia are independent PJD in patients undergoing lumbar fusion. Summary Background Data: one most frequent complications following posterior instrumented spinal It characterized by spectrum pathologies ranging...
Abstract Purpose To retrospectively evaluate a cohort of athletically active patients who underwent surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), and to determine which clinical, surgical anthropometric variables influenced their return sport after surgery. Methods 112 adolescents high-density posterior fusion AIS by single surgeon were analyzed demographic predictors presurgical physical activity levels. Data collected charts X-rays analysis interviews. Results Preoperative main curve...
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional structural deformity of the spine that affects 2-3% adolescents under age 16. AIS etiopathogenesis not completely understood; however, disease phenotype correlated to multiple genetic loci and results from genetic-environmental interactions. One primary, still unresolved issues implementation reliable diagnostic prognostic markers. For clinical management improvement, predictors curve progression are particularly needed. Recently,...
Surgical site infection (SSI) is a feared complication in spinal surgery, that leads to lower outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Among its risk factors, sarcopenia osteopenia have recently attracted particular interest. The purpose of this article evaluate the influence on postoperative rate patients treated with posterior fusion for degenerative diseases lumbar spine. This retrospective study included data from 308 patients. Charts were reviewed central evaluated through magnetic...
<h3></h3> Consensus guidelines were published for the first time in 2018 on management of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension – a condition with an age and gender adjusted annual incidence 2.4 per 100,000 increasing. An audit was conducted across two sites - St George's Hospital Croydon University Hospital. Data extracted all patients admitted 2017 ICD code G93.2 then those 16 or under, who did not have IIH at index event/it wasn't their primary diagnosis incomplete notes excluded. The...
The aim of this article is to present an original surgical technique for the treatment rigid Adult Idiopathic Scoliosis (AdIS) and results at minimum 2 years follow-up in a cohort 40 patients.We retrospectively reviewed patients affected by AdIS, older than operated with posterior one stage summarized acronym Hi-PoAD, (high-density pedicle screws, Ponte osteotomies, asymmetric rods contouring, direct vertebral rotation). demographic data were collected, improvement clinical scores radiologic...
Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Objectives To assess if pedicle dysplasia is present in proximal thoracic (PT), both structural and nonstructural, compared to main (MT) curves; it predictive of radiographic outcomes at minimum 2 years follow-up. Methods A retrospective review surgically-treated Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients with Lenke 1-2-3-4 curves was performed. On preoperative CT-scan, the apical vertebra, width on concavity (PWc) convexity (PWv) Pedicle...
