Filter by:As a registry, the primary objective of the study is a data collection initiative. The study will collect clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients implanted with Medicrea's PSR. The secondary objective is to collect clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients with Medicrea hardware as a control cohort to the patient-specific rods.
This study evaluates in a prospectively collected multicenter cohort the existence, characteristics and determinants of EBPCA, the obtained results and their determinant, the rate of over- and under-treatment and their determinants.
The new device with digital technology provides a new avenue to enable clinicians to communicate wirelessly with the imbedded core system such that they can adjust the electrical stimulation parameters and retrieve the temperature data for further compliance analysis. The smart phone and cloud technology can be effectively applied for both security and convenience. The electrical stimulation technology integrated with the total contact spinal orthosis combines the external correction forces on the spinal skeleton from the passive orthosis with the muscle forces at the lateral trunk from the stimulation process. The electrical stimulation is purposely to tone the muscle in order to replace the external mechanical forces gradually. Ultimately, when being weaned off the orthosis, patients may maintain the correction.
The study is quantifying how the patients' back has been corrected using Medicrea's hardware through imaging taken before,during and after the surgery.
The purpose of this current prospective study is to determine the role of vitamin D in the development and restoration of spinal deformities in adolescence.
Allogeneic blood products transfusions are often necessary to treat perioperative bleeding in patients undergoing complex scoliosis surgeries. A prospective, randomized trial is designed to evaluate if the infusion of fibrinogen concentrate may reduce allogeneic blood transfusion in patients undergoing scoliosis surgery. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to treatment group (fibrinogen concentrate infusion) and control group (normal saline infusion), and functional fibrinogen will be measured to guide the infusion of fibrinogen concentrate. Perioperative blood loss, intraoperative blood loss, and the amount of perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion will be compared between the two groups to determine the effect of fibrinogen concentrate infusion.
This is a survey to help understand the influences related to the decision for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis treatment (observation vs. bracing vs. surgery). The investigator then plans to create a decision aid to help families when making a decision about the treatment choice being presented to them.
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine associated with vertebral rotation. Brace treatment is the most commonly used non-surgical treatment. To obtain the best possible outcome, the best in-brace correction within the patient's accepted tolerance must be provided. However, in the existing clinical practice, the immediate in-brace correction cannot be measured during the design and fitting of the brace because the correction is determined using a radiograph. This study is to evaluate the effect of applying ultrasound to measure the stimulated in-brace correction during brace casting.
The aim of this epidemiologic prospective study is to determine the prevalence of CPSP defined as pain occurring 4 months after scoliosis and thoracic surgery and rated > 3 on a 10 point visual analogue scale or FLACC scale, in children aged from 6 to 18 years. The main objective : prevalence of chronic post surgical pain 4 months after scoliosis ant thoracic surgery in children aged 6 to 18 years. The secondary objectives: the intensity of chronic post surgical pain, the prevalence of neuropathic syndrome and the predictive risk factors.
