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.

Abstract BACKGROUND While recent data has demonstrated the utility of lumbar pedicle screws for the treatment of vertebral osteomyelitis, the data are limited for thoracic pedicle screws. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of thoracic pedicle screws for the surgical treatment of vertebral osteomyelitis. METHODS A retrospective review of all operations performed by 2 spinal neurosurgeons from 1999 to 2012 yielded 30 cases of vertebral osteomyelitis that were treated with thoracic pedicle screws. Sixteen (53%) of which underwent combined anterior and posterior fusion and 14 patients (47%) underwent standalone posterior fusion. Postoperative records were analyzed for pertinent clinical, laboratory, and radiographic data. RESULTS Of the 30 patients, 21 were males (70%), 8 were females (27%), and 1 was transsexual (3%). The mean age was 47 yr (range 18-69). The most common organism cultured was Staphylococcus aureus in 12 cases (50%). The mean patient stay in the hospital was 12.4 d after surgery (range 5-38 d). The mean antibiotic duration after discharge was 8 wk (range 1-24 wk). Of the 25 patients with long-term follow-up (mean, 49 mo), 92% had improved back pain (6/25 marked improvement, 17/25 complete resolution), 83% had improved muscle weakness (8/18 marked improvement, 7/18 complete resolution), and 100% had improved urinary incontinence (3/8 marked improvement, 5/8 complete resolution). Two patients (7%) required additional surgical revision due to instrumentation failure or wound infection. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the efficacy of utilizing thoracic pedicle screws as a primary intervention to treat vertebral osteomyelitis.

Objectives. To analyze the efficacy of surgery using the original plate endocorrectors for III–IV grade idiopathic progressing scoliosis. Materials and methods. Two-plate endocorrector was used in surgical treatment of 380 patients. Out of them 171 patients at the age of 13–15 years had vertebral body apophysis ossification of stage 2–3 according to Risser’s test. Scoliosis was congenital in 12 patients (3.2 %) and idiopathic in 368 patients (96.8 %). The smallest coronal angle of curve according to Cobb was 40°, the largest one – 145°. Surgery of severe IV grade scoliotic deformity (curve angle of 60–90°) was performed in 178 patients. Results. Patients with non-removable instrumentation show the maintenance of post-surgical correction within 75–80% in long-term follow-up period (up to 9 years). Complications related to the plate endocorrector were observed in 9.8 % of cases: aseptic serous reaction induced by instability of the construct elements – in 3.7 %, plate breakage and release of endocorrector locking – in 5.3 %. Conclusion. Plate endocorrector of the third generation provides effective three-dimensional deformity correction for idiopathic III–IV grade scoliosis. The endocorrector does not prevent further spine growth in children after surgery.

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: Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a type of foot deformities characterized with hindfoot varus, adducted metatarsus, wide arched of the foot (cavus), and equinus. Its incidence is 1.2% per 1000 births annually. Around 80% of cases occur as idiopathic type and the remaining 20% is associated with other anomaly conditions. Genetic component is considered to play a role in the occurrence of CTEV. However, up to this day, there is no exact underlying etiology that defines the exact pathogenesis of CTEV. The evolving etiology nowadays is still multifactorial. Management of CTEV varies from non-surgical treatment to surgical treatment. A number of scoring and grading using qualitative and quantitative measurement are being used nowadays to assess the severity of CTEV because this deformity needs long-term follow-up due to its tendency to relapse.Keywords: congenital talipes equinovarus, clubfoot Abstrak: Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), dikenal juga dengan true clubfoot, merupakan deformitas pada kaki yang ditandai oleh adanya bentuk varus kaki belakang, adduksi metatarsus, dan adanya bentuk lengkungan kaki yang lebar (cavus) serta equinus. CTEV merupakan salah satu dari deformitas kaki pada saat lahir dengan insidensi 1,2% per 1000 kelahiran hidup per tahunnya. Pada 80% kasus terjadi secara idiopatik dan 20% dikaitkan dengan kondisi-kondisi lain. Komponen genetik diduga berperan pada CTEV, namun, sampai saat ini, belum ada etiologi pasti yang menjelaskan patogenesis CTEV. Etiologi yang berkembang sampai saat ini bersifat multifaktorial. Tatalaksana pasien CTEV bervariasi mulai dari non-operatif maupun operatif. Sejumlah pengukuran kualitatif maupun kuantitatif telah dikembangkan untuk menilai keparahan CTEV berhubung kondisi deformitas ini membutuhkan follow-up jangka panjang karena mempunyai kecenderungan untuk relaps.Kata kunci: congenital talipes equinovarus, clubfoot

Ligoniai ir metodai 1987–2007 metais Vilniaus širdies ligų klinikoje buvo atlikta 101 BPV, ligonių amžius nuo 1 paros iki – 39 metų. BPV atlikta esant spaudimo per PA vožtuvą skirtumui > 30 mm Hg. Ligoniai prieš BPV suskirstyti į dvi grupes pagal tai, ar pradinis spaudimo per PA vožtuvą skirtumas <50 mm Hg (1 gruoė), ar > 50 mm Hg (2 grupė). Analizuotas duomenų kitimas tiesiogiai po BPV, tarpiniu laikotarpiu (iki dvejų metų po BVP), vėlyvuoju laikotarpiu (praėjus daugiau kaip dvejiems metams). Ligoniai po BPV buvo suskirstyti į dvi grupes: turintys liekamąjį spaudimo skirtumą iki 36 mm Hg ir daugiau kaip 36 mm Hg. Rezultatai BPV atlikta 18 pacientų, kurių spaudimo per PA vožtuvą skirtumas < 50 mm Hg. Iškart po BVP spaudimo skirtumas per PA vožtuvą sumažėjo nuo 39,5 ± 5 iki 15,83 ± 8,37 mm Hg, tarpiniu laikotarpiu – iki 20 ± 6 mm Hg, vėlyvuoju – iki 21,5 ± 5 mm Hg. BPV atliktos 83 pacientams, kurių spaudimo per PA vožtuvą skirtumas > 50 mm Hg. Tiesiogiai po BVP vidutinis spaudimo skirtumas sumažėjo nuo 81,31 ± 21,28 iki 31,32 ± 13,82 mm Hg, tarpiniu laikotarpiu – iki 27,56 ± 12,71 mm Hg, vėlyvuoju – iki 19,89 ± 10,12 mm Hg. Esant liekamajam spaudimo skirtumui po BPV < 36 mm Hg (58 ligoniai), tarpiniu lakotarpiu vidutinis spaudimo skirtumas 23,66 ± 9,29 mm Hg, vėlyvuoju – 16,85 ± 7,98 mm Hg. Esant liekamajam spaudimo skirtumui po BPV > 36 mm Hg (21 ligonis), tarpiniu laikotarpiu vidutinis spaudimo skirtumas 51,99 ± 20,61 mm Hg, vėlyvuoju – 35,7 ± 16 mm Hg. Vėlyvuoju laikotarpiu spaudimo skirtumas mažėja, bet didėja PA nesandarumas. Tuoj po BPV nesandarumas nustatytas 7 %, tarpiniu laikotarpiu – 53 %, vėlyvuoju – 81,7 % ligonių. Išvados BPV yra gerai toleruojamas ir veiksmingas nechirurginis gydymo būdas. Daugumai ligonių išryškėja vėlyvasis nedidelis plaučių arterijos nesandarumas, kurį retai prireikia gydyti chirurginiu būdu. Mūsų studija rodo, kad tinkama ligonių atranka leidžia pasiekti gerų tiesioginių, tarpinius ir vėlyvųjų rezultatų.

Balloon pulmonary artery valvuloplasty – immediate, mid-term and long-term follow-up results: 20-year experience Sigitas Čibiras, Eugenijus KosinskasVilnius University Clinic of Heart and Vascular Medicine, Vilnius University Hospital Santariškių Klinikos, Santariškių str. 2, LT-08661 Vilnius, LithuaniaE-mail: [email protected] Background To analyze immediate, mid-term and long-term follow-up results after percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (BPV) of congenital pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis for a 20-year period. Patients and methods During 1987–2007, in the Vilnius Clinic of Heart Diseases 101 BPV were performed, the patients’ age range being 1 day – 39 years. BPV was performed with the primary PA valvular pressure gradient > 30 mm Hg. Patients before BPV had been divided into two groups: (1) with primary PA pressure gradient < 50 mm Hg; (2) with primary PA pressure gradient > 50 mm Hg. Data were analyzed immediately after BPV, in a mid-term (2 years) and a long-term (more than 2 years) follow-up. The same patients after BPV were divided into two groups: with residual pressure gradient < 36 mmHg and > 36 mmHg. Results Eighteen BPV were performed with the primary PA pressure gradient < 50 mm Hg: the immediate mean pressure gradient decreased from 39.5  ±   5 to 15.83 ± 8.37 mm Hg, in the mid-term period to 20 ± 6 mm Hg, and in the long-term to 21.5 ± 5 mm Hg. Eighty-three BPV were performed with the primary PA pressure gradient > 50 mm Hg; the immediate mean pressure gradient decreased from 81.31 ± 21.28 mm Hg to 31.32 ± 13.82 mm Hg, in the mid-term period to 20 ± 6 mm Hg and in the long-term period to mm Hg. With the residual pressure gradient after BPV < 36 mm Hg (58 patients), in the mid-term period the pressure gradient decreased to 23.66 ± 9.29 mm Hg and in the long-term period to 16.85 ± 7.98 mm Hg. With the residual pressure gradient after BPV > 36 mm Hg (21 patients), in the mid-term period the pressure gradient decreased to 51.99 ± 20.61 mm Hg and in the long-term period to 35.7 ± 16 mm Hg. In the long-term follow-up, the pressure gradient decreased, but PA regurgitation (PAR) was progressive. Immediately after BPV, PAR was seen in 7%, in mid-term follow-up in 53 %, and in long-term follow-up in 81.7 % patients. Conclusions BPV is a well tolerated and effective non-surgical treatment method. Late trivial PAR develops in the majority of cases, but rarely requires surgical treatment. Our study has demonstrated that the appropriate patient selection enables achieving good immediate, mid-term and long-term follow-up results.
