The purpose of the study. To assess the results of surgical treatment in children with idiopathic scoliosis of thoracic localization. Material and methods. We operated 56 patients aged from 13 to 18 years old with a level of deformity 40-136° according to Cobb. Surgical correction of the deformity was performed with three tactical options using Cotrel-Dubousset dorsal instrumentation. Results. In idiopathic thoracic scoliosis the operating correction ranged from 48 to 100 %. Loss of correction in the follow-up period from 1 year to 3.5 years was 0-7 %. Conclusion. Surgical treatment of idiopathic thoracic scoliosis should be individualized. Application of multisupporting transpedicular metal constructions allows to increase the degree of deformity correction, to perform true derotation of vertebral bodies on top of curvature and to save the result achieved in the postoperative period.

The purpose of the study is to describe features of the surgical technique for correction of kyphotic deformity of the spine and to analyze the results of surgical treatment of juvenile kyphosis in children with the use of 3D-CT navigation.— Materials and methods. We observed 11 patientsaged 14-17 years old (2 girls and 9 boys) with kyphoticdeformity of the spine, developed on the backgroundof Scheuermann’s disease. The deformity amount aver-aged 73,9° (60 to 90°). Surgery was performed fromthe combined access, carring out discapophysectomyand corporodesis on top of kyphosis and fixing mul-tibasic corrective metal construction. For the insertionof pedicle screws we used 3D-CT navigation.— The results. After surgery kyphosis value decreasedto 32,6° (20 to 45°), the deformity correction averaged41,3° (30 to 50°). Hybrid systems were placed in 5 pa-tients, total transpedicular fixation - in 6 children.Number of fixed vertebrae with hybrid metal construc-tions averaged 14 (13 to 15), in patients with total pediclefixation - 13 (12 to 14). In all cases we observed the correct position of pedicle support elements. Postopera- tive follow-up period was from 1 year and 5 months to5 years and 4 months, on average - 3 years 5 months. The loss of the result achieved in the long-term follow- up period was observed in patients with hybrid metal constructions and averaged 7,2° (4 to 9°).— Conclusion. The use of pedicle screws for thecorrection of juvenile kyphosis in children allows forthe effective correction of the deformity, restoring thephysiological profiles of the spine, eliminating post-operative progression of curvature, and reducing thelength of metal fixation and save the result achievedin the long-term follow-up. The use of active optical3D-CT navigation allows carring out a correct inser-tion of pedicle screws in the vertebral bodies in chil-dren with juvenile kyphosis.— Keywords: Scheuermann’s disease, juvenile ky-phosis, transpedicular fixation, navigation, children,surgical treatment.

BACKGROUND: Today, the question of the tactics of surgical treatment of patients with idiopathic scoliosis during active bone growth, namely, the need for ventral interventions due to the emergence of modern dorsal instruments, remains open. AIM: This study aims to evaluate the role of ventral interventions in the surgical treatment of patients with progressive idiopathic scoliosis Lenke type 1, 2, 3 during the period of active bone growth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The long-term results of operational correction 352 patients with thoracic idiopathic scoliosis aged from 10 to 14 years old operated in Novosibirsk Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics n.a. Ya.L. Tsivyan from 1998 to 2018 using various methods and different instrumentation types. RESULTS: Among patients (352 people) aged 10 to 14 years with idiopathic thoracic scoliosis (Lenke type 1, 2, 3), statistically significant postoperative progression was observed in patients who underwent surgical deformity correction using laminar (hook) fixation. At the same time, additional ventral stage conduction could not prevent deformity progression in the postoperative period. In those groups where hybrid fixation was used combined with the ventral stage and total transpedicular fixation, no significant progression was observed in the postoperative period. CONCLUSION: Modern dorsal systems for transpedicular fixation narrow the indications for using additional mobilizing and stabilizing ventral interventions in the surgical treatment of progressive idiopathic scoliosis in patients with active bone growth. Total transpedicular fixation provides excellent main curve and anti-curvature arch correction in the absence of scoliotic deformity progression in the postoperative long-term follow-up.

The results of surgical treatment of 263 patients with thoracic scoliosis from 13 to 18 years old with deformity 50-152° (Cobb) are presented. It was used three tactical variants with dorsal instrumentation Cotrel-Dubousset (CDI). Operation correction in idiopathic thoracic scoliosis varies within in limits from 46,2 to 95%. Lost of correction in 10 years follow up period was 5,10-10,15%. Authors concluded that tactic of surgical treatment of idiopathic thoracic scoliosis should be individual and depends on patient's age, growth potential, and degree of deformation and mobility of the curve.

Surgical treatment results for 53 patients with III—IV stage of scoliosis are presented. In all patients original endocorrector has been applied. Endocorrector is based on the application of cross-section corrective («translation effect») forces that enable to shift the vertebrae of the main scoliotic arch to the median line of the trunk. Endocorrector was the most effective in curvature arch under 75° and provided 35—45° correction. Mathematic modeling of a situation «endocor- rector—curved spine» was performed as well as the pattern of forces created by endocorrector and participated in the scoliotic deformity correction was studied. Surgical intervention enabled to achieve stable fixation of the spine with its sagittal contours preservation. At long-term follow up (1—6 years) loss of correction did not exceed 8—10°. In scoliosis with arch over 75° step-by- step corrections were performed and loss of correction could make up 15°.

Abstract Purpose The aim of this article is to present an original surgical technique for the treatment of rigid Adult Idiopathic Scoliosis (AdIS) and the results at minimum 2 years follow-up in a cohort of 40 patients. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 40 patients affected by rigid AdIS, older than 40 years and operated with a posterior one stage surgical technique summarized with the acronym Hi-PoAD, (high-density pedicle screws, Ponte osteotomies, asymmetric rods contouring, direct vertebral rotation). The demographic and surgical data were collected, and the improvement of clinical scores and radiologic parameters was obtained after surgery, at 1 and 2 years and at final follow-up, to assess deformity correction, coronal and sagittal balance and clinical outcome. Results The average follow-up was 2.9 years (range 2–3.5). Average coronal Cobb angle decreased from 65.0° ± 8.4 to 18.9° ± 3.9 (p < 0.01). Rotation sagittal angle decreased from 26.2° ± 4.4° to 12.4° ± 2.8° (p < 0.01). Mean thoracic kyphosis improved from 23.1° ± 3.6° to 36.0° ± 3.9°. SRS-22 improved form 2.9 ± 0.4 to 3.7 ± 0.6 (p < 0.01). Four early post-operative deep wound infections were observed, all healed after debridement and implant retention. No mechanical complication, junctional kyphosis, deformity progression or non-union were recorded at the last follow-up. Conclusions Hi-PoAD technique proved to be safe and effective in the treatment of rigid Adult Idiopathic Scoliosis. The reason for the success is related to the combined strategies adopted, that dissipates corrective forces over several levels, reducing mechanical stress at the screw–bone interface and optimizing corrective potential.

BACKGROUND: Congenital scoliosis with disorders of the formation of the vertebrae is the most common cause of pronounced deformities of the spine in early childhood. This pathology can be treated surgically using various techniques that differ in invasiveness, severity of the condition in the postoperative period, achieved result of deformity correction, and nature of the long-term prognosis. Numerous studies have assessed the quality of life of patients who underwent surgery for acquired deformities, trauma, and degenerative and neoplastic diseases of the spine in adults. However, features of the childs quality of life following surgical technique for congenital scoliosis have not been sufficiently studied. AIM: This study aimed to compare the quality of life of children with congenital scoliosis of the thoracolumbar localization after extirpation of the hemivertebra from the dorsal and combined approaches. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An intergroup prospective analysis of the results of a survey of 60 patients with congenital deformity of the spine against the background of an isolated violation of the formation of the thoracic or lumbar vertebra was carried out. Patients underwent standard surgical treatment. Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical approach to the abnormal vertebral body: dorsal group (n = 28) and combined group (n = 32). The average age of the patients was 75 (minmax, 26196) months. The follow-up period was 18 months after surgery. To assess the quality of life, a specialized Russian version of the PedsQL v4.0 questionnaire and a modified visual analog scale were used. RESULTS: After surgical treatment of congenital spinal deformity, quality of life indicators decreased more than two times than the results of a preoperative survey. At 18 months postoperatively, the physical activity and psychoemotional state were restored to the preoperative level, while patients of the combined group had a higher satisfaction score on the quality of life (p 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The combined approach provides the best correction of congenital deformity of the spine and allows maintaining of the achieved result throughout the observation period. In the early postoperative period, the combined group demonstrated a significant decrease in the level of satisfaction with the quality of life, while the pain syndrome was higher than that in the dorsal group. Dynamic observation revealed the leveling of these differences and a subsequent increase in the level of satisfaction with the quality of life of these patients.

Abstract PurposeThe present study aimed to explore the influence of ulnar bow on the surgical treatment of Bado type I missed Monteggia fracture in children.MethodsThis study is a retrospective review of 24 patients between November 2010 and March 2019. All patients were treated with open reduction of the radial head and ulnar opening wedge osteotomy without annular ligament reconstruction. The mean interval between injury onset and surgery was five months (range: 2–12 months). The average age of participants at the time of surgery was 6.4 years (range: 3–10 years). We evaluated the maximum ulnar bow (MUB) and MUB position (P-MUB) via radiography. The patients were divided into middle group (group A: 14 cases, MUB located at 40% to 60% of the distal ulna) and distal group (group B: 10 cases, MUB located at 20% to 40% from the distal end of the ulna) based on P-MUB. The mean period of follow-up was 37 months (range: 6–102 months).ResultsAt the last follow-up, all the children showed stable reduction of the radial head, and the flexion function of elbow joint improved after operation (P<0.05). Group A presented a larger the ratio of maximum ulnar bow(R-MUB) and angle of ulnar osteotomy(OA) than group B (P<0.05). There was statistically significant difference between group A and Group B in the P-MUB (P < 0.05). The osteotomy angle was positively correlated with the R-MUB (R2 =0.497,P=0.013), The osteotomy angle was positively correlated with the P-MUB (R2=0.731,P=0.000), The R-MUB is proportional to the P-MUB (R2 =0.597,P=0.002). The regression equation of P-MUB and osteotomy angle: Angle=7.064+33.227* P-MUB (R2=0.459, P =0.000).ConclusionWhen the ulnar bow is positioned at the middle ulna, a stable reduction of radial head need to be achieved through a larger angle in the ulnar osteotomy. If the position of maximum ulnar bow (P-MUB) is closer to the middle of the ulna or the ratio of maximum ulnar bow (R-MUB) is larger, the osteotomy angle is larger.

Aims There is little information about the optimum number of implants to be used in the surgical treatment of idiopathic scoliosis. Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the Swedish spine register was undertaken to discover whether more implants per operated vertebra (implant density) leads to a better outcome in the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis. The hypothesis was that implant density is not associated with patient-reported outcomes, the correction of the curve or the rate of reoperation. Patients and Methods A total of 328 patients with idiopathic scoliosis, aged between ten and 20 years at the time of surgery, were identified in the Swedish spine register (Swespine) and had patient reported outcomes including the Scoliosis Research Society 22r instrument (SRS-22r) score, EuroQol 5 dimensions quality of life, 3 level (EQ-5D-3L) score and a Viual Analogue Score (VAS) for back pain, at a mean follow-up of 3.1 years and reoperation data at a mean follow-up of 5.5 years. Implant data and the correction of the curve were assessed from radiographs, preoperatively and a mean of 1.9 years postoperatively. The patients were divided into tertiles based on implant density. Data were analyzed with analysis of variance, logistic regression or log-rank test. Some analyses were adjusted for gender, age at the time of surgery, the flexibility of the major curve and follow-up. Results The mean number of implants per operated vertebra in the low, medium and high-density groups were 1.36 (1.00 to 1.54), 1.65 (1.55 to 1.75) and 1.91 (1.77 to 2.00), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in the correction of the curve, the SRS-22r total score, EQ-5D-3L index or number of reoperations between the groups (all p > 0.34). In the SRS-22r domains, self-image was marginally higher in the medium implant density group (p = 0.029) and satisfaction marginally higher in the high implant density group (p = 0.034). Conclusion These findings suggest that there is no clear advantage in using a high number of implants per operated vertebra in the surgical treatment of patients with idiopathic scoliosis.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To compare the outcomes of surgical treatment with lumbar fixation using nitinol rods without fusion and with standard lumbar fixation with titanium rods and interbody fusion. Methods: Treatment results of 70 patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis aged 40 to 82 were analyzed. In all cases pedicle screws and nitinol rods with a diameter of 5.5 mm were used. Thirty patients underwent fixation at L1-S1 and 40 patients underwent fixation at L1-L5. Spinal fusion was not performed. All patients had radiography, CT and MRI performed. The results were assessed according to the Oswestry scale, SRS 22, SF 36 and VAS. The minimum follow-up period for all patients was 2.5 years. For the control group, consisting of 72 patients, pedicle fixation with titanium rods and interbody fusion in the lumbosacral region were performed. Results: The average level of deformity correction equaled 25° (10° - 38°). The analysis of X-ray and CT-scans revealed a single patient with implant instability, two patients with bone resorption around the screws and one patient with rod fractures. Functional radiography 2.5 years after surgery showed an average mobility of the lumbar spine of 21° (15° - 30°). There were no problems at the adjacent levels. Conclusions: The use of nitinol rods in spinal deformity surgery is promising. This technology is an alternative to rigid fixation. Continued gathering of clinical data and its further evaluation is necessary.
