Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect that corrective surgery for scoliosis would have on pulmonary function as well as the circumference of the chest. As a result, the current investigation was carried out on thirty individuals who had idiopathic scoliosis and had been admitted to the hospital. Before the surgery, after it had been completed (on the fifth day), and again three months later, the pulmonary function was tested.

Description:

The purpose of this study was to see how corrective scoliosis surgery affected pulmonary function and chest circumference. As a result, the current investigation was carried out on 30 individuals brought to the hospital with idiopathic scoliosis. The pulmonary function was assessed before surgery, on the fifth day following surgery, and three months thereafter.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	chest expansion	chest circumference meaurement	10 months
Primary	PFT	PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST; Vital capacity (Liter).; Forced VITAL Capacity (Liter).; Maximal voluntary breathing (Liter).	10 months for each parameter
Secondary	cobb angle	In terms of measuring the major curve Cobb's angle, patient in a standing posterior-anterior (PA) radiograph, the angle is composed of two intersecting lines: the upper endplate of the main thoracic curve upper vertebra and the lower endplate of the main curve lower vertebra. These lines meet at the point where the upper endplate of the main thoracic curve upper vertebra and the lower endplate of the main curve lower vertebra meet.	10 months
