Hip Spica Cast

Background and Aims: Posterolateral hemivertebrectomy with monosegmental instrumentation at an early age is an established method to correct congenital scoliosis but is associated with a relatively high risk of instrumentation failure and health-related quality of life outcomes are not available. We aimed to investigate the effects hemivertebrectomy with postoperative hip spica cast on complications and health-related quality of life in small children with congenital scoliosis. Materials and Methods: A follow-up study of 30 children (at mean age = 3.4 years, range = 1.0–8.5 years) undergoing posterolateral hemivertebrectomy and short pedicle instrumentation. Children were immobilized postoperative with hip spica cast for 6 weeks and immobilization for 4 months using a rigid thoracolumbosacral orthosis. The Caregivers filled out Scoliosis Research Society 24 outcome questionnaire preoperatively, at 6 months, and at final follow-up visit on behalf of their child. Standing radiographs were obtained preoperatively, postoperatively in the cast, and standing at final follow-up. Results: Mean major curve was 41° (range = 26°–87°) preoperatively and was corrected to 14° (4.0°–35°) at final follow-up. Eight (27%) children had postoperative complications, including three (10%) deep surgical site infections. The Scoliosis Research Society 24 back domain showed an improvement from a mean of 3.8 preoperatively to 4.4 at final follow-up ( p < 0.001). Function from back condition domain showed a significant deterioration from 4.2 preoperatively to 3.7 at 6 months ( p = 0.020) but improved back to baseline at final follow-up (4.2, p = 0.0022 6 months vs final follow-up). Conclusion: Hemivertebrectomy with short instrumentation resulted into 64% correction of scoliosis and improved health-related quality of life in back pain and function domains.

Abstract Purpose Vertebral column resection (VCR) is a technique performed for short, angular spinal deformities. Several studies have reported good radiographic results with VCR regarding curve correction. However, only a few studies have reported the impact of this technique on the health-related quality-of-life measures (HRQoL). Methods A single surgeon series of 27 consecutive children (mean age at surgery 12.3 years, range 1.1–20.7 years) undergoing posterior VCR with a minimum of 2-year follow-up. The comparison was made to age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Outcome measures included Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) questionnaire both pre- and postoperatively, radiographic outcomes, and complications. Results The average major curve correction was 60.3% in the VCR patients. Complications were noted in 12 out of 27 (44%) of the VCR patients but all patients recovered fully during follow-up. The SRS pain domain scores improved significantly after VCR (p = 0.0002). The SRS total and domain scores were significantly lower than in the healthy controls especially in the self-image and function domains, but the pain and activity domains improved from preoperative to similar level than in the control group. Conclusions HRQoL showed significant improvement in pain scores despite 44% risk of transient complications after VCR in pediatric patients. This health-related quality-of-life improvement remained at a significantly lower level than in the healthy control group. Level of Evidence Therapeutic Level III.

Objective: To compare the validity of the Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life (ISYQOL) questionnaire with that of the Scoliosis Research Society 22 (SRS22) questionnaire, the criterion standard for health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measurement in adolescents with spinal deformities. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Outpatient clinic. Subjects: Consecutive adolescents (10–18 years; 541 wearing brace) affected by idiopathic scoliosis (642 females, 100 males) or hyperkyphosis (87 females, 109 males). Interventions: NA. Main measures: The Spearman’s correlation coefficient (rho) between ISYQOL and SRS22 was used to assess ISYQOL concurrent validity. Sex, age, severity, bracing, trunk appearance and deformity type were assessed for known-groups validity. Cohen’s d quantified between-groups differences. Multiple linear regression exploring the effect of sex, age, body mass index (BMI), severity, bone age, trunk appearance, physiotherapy, bracing and sport on HRQOL of scoliosis patients was used to assess concurrent validity further. Results: Satisfactory correlations were found between ISYQOL and SRS22 (scoliosis, rho = 0.71; kyphosis, rho = 0.56). Known-groups validity analysis showed that ISYQOL detects all the between-groups differences detected by SRS22 and a males-females difference undetected by SRS22. ISYQOL Cohen’s d was larger than SRS22 Cohen’s d in three between-groups comparisons and similar in the others. Brace, sport and scoliosis severity were independently related to ISYQOL (linear regression: R2 = 0.23; p < 0.001). Brace, sport and physiotherapy were related to SRS22 ( R2 = 0.17). Conclusions: ISYQOL showed high validity when used to measure HRQOL in adolescents with spinal deformities. Moreover, ISYQOL performs better than SRS22, having better known-groups validity and (contrary to SRS22) detecting the impact of disease severity on HRQOL.
