Abstract Background: This study aims to evaluate the effects of bracing on the Cobb’s angle (CA) and spinopelvic parameters in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. Methods: A total of 51 AIS patients who received bracing treatment between January 2018 and August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The pro-bracing and in-bracing radiographs were analyzed with regard to the spinopelvic parameters. The CA, pelvic coronal obliquity angle (PCOA), thoracolumbar kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), sagittal vertical angle (SVA) and coronal vertical angle (CVA) were measured. Results: The mean age at the initiation of bracing was 13.6 ± 1.5 years. The mean pro-bracing CA was 24.0° ± 6.3°. There were no statistically significant differences between pro-bracing and in-bracing measurements of SVA and CVA. However, there were statistically significant differences between the pro-bracing and in-bracing measurements of the CA, PCOA, TLK, LL, PT and SS. A significant correlation was observed between PT variation and TLK variation in the sagittal plane. In the coronal plane, the PCOA variation was correlated to pro-bracing PCOA. Conclusion: Bracing effects of AIS can be extended to the pelvis. The pelvis should retro-rotate correspondingly to TLK hypokyphosis on sagittal plane, whereas in coronal plane, pelvic obliquity was improved independently.

Abstract BackgroundAlthough Lenke classification analyses the sagittal plane as (+), N, and (-), it does not consider it in the choice of treatment, and it has limitations with overall thoracic kyphosis (TK). To investigate the importance of TK for treatment preference in patients with Lenke 5C adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) by comparing radiological outcomes of the patients who underwent selective fusion (SF) or nonselective fusion (NSF). MethodsThirty-two patients with Lenke type 5C AIS were included and then divided into two groups as per the fusion procedure used in the surgical treatment. SF group including 17 patients (15 females; mean age = 16 years, age range, 14–21) with normal TK and NSF group including 15 patients (11 females; mean age = 17 years, age range, 13–26) with thoracic hyper-kyphosis. Thorocolumbar/lumbar (TL/L) Cobb, thoracic (T) Cobb, TK and lumbar lordosis (LL) were measured on standing spine radiographs preoperatively and at the final follow-up. The correction rates (CR) of each radiographic parameter were calculated.ResultsNo significant differences were observed in the mean CR of all radiographic parameters, except TK and LL correction rates. The mean CR of TK was significantly higher in NSF group (-17% [range, -100–69]) than in SF group (67% [range, 9–100]) (p = 0.000). Likewise, the mean CR of LL was found significantly higher in NSF group (12.47% [range, -100–51]) than in SF group (-2.41% [range, -75–47]) (p = 0.036).ConclusionIn patients in whom Lenke's sagittal modifier is N, SF can be performed efficiently. NSF should be preferred in those with Lenke's sagittal modifiers (+) as TK can be better controlled with NSF.Level of Evidence: 3

Study Design: Retrospective study. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess long-term radiographic and clinical outcomes in Lenke 5C adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients after posterior selective fusion. Methods: Lenke 5C AIS patients who underwent posterior selective thoracolumbar/lumbar (TL/L) fusion in our hospital from January 2007 to January 2010 were recruited. Radiographic parameters were measured preoperatively and at the 3-month, 1-year, 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year follow-ups. The SRS-22 (Scoliosis Research Society) questionnaire was used to assess the clinical outcomes. Results: We included 37 patients who underwent posterior selective TL/L fusion surgery in our study, and the mean follow-up time was 11.26 ± 0.85 years. The average preoperative Cobb angles of the thoracic and TL/L curves were 24.0 ± 9.0° and 45.4 ± 6.3°, respectively, which were corrected to 12.2° and 12.4° at the 3-month follow-up postoperatively, with correction losses of 2.2° and 1.5° at the 10-year follow-up. In the sagittal plane, the degree of thoracic kyphosis (TK) gradually increased over the follow-up period. The proximal junctional angle (PJA) also gradually increased from 6.7 ± 4.6 to 13.7 ± 5.6 during the follow-up period. For the clinical outcomes, correction surgery improved the SRS-22 scores in each domain, especially in the self-image domain. Conclusions: Posterior selective TL/L fusion can effectively correct spinal deformities, leading to stable outcomes for 10 years postoperatively. During the follow-up period, the degree of TK presented an increasing trend that remained almost constant after the 1-year follow-up. Moreover, the variation in the PJA was highly significant in the postoperative period, and it showed an increasing trend until the 2-year follow-up.
