Filter by:The primary aim of this study is to investigate and describe the limited efficacy of the Spring Distraction System (SDS) and Bilateral One Way Rod (NEMOST) in maintaining curve reduction without repeat lengthening procedures and complications. Secondary aims are to describe growth of the instrumented spine, health-related quality of life, and to compare both devices.
In the initial evaluation, the degree of spine is measured quantitatively using Cobb's angle and Muscular Dystrophy Spine Questionnaire (MDSQ). The patients who had Cobbs angle of 20-45 'by spinal plain radiography were evaluated for the effects of flexpine brace wearing and rehabilitation for 6 months. After 12 months, whole spine X-ray was taken for the followed up the patient's status.
This study was sponsored by Federal state budgetary institution "Russian scientific center for traumatology and orthopedics" n.a. acad. G.A. Ilizarov" of the Ministry of Health of Russian Federation. The study will take place at this center. It is expected to enroll 70 patients aged 6-25 years with NMD, all of whom will be subjected to thoracic and lumbar spinal deformity surgery. Patients will be divided into two groups depending on skeletal maturity. The degree of skeletal maturity will be determined on the basis of an X-ray study of spinal and pelvic bones. The type of surgical correction will depend on the group.
The effect of a modular seating system on coronal and sagittal balance of the spine and pelvic obliquity in children with non-ambulatory (Gross Motor Function Classification System Level IV-V) and scoliosis The hypothesis in our study is; a modular adaptive seating system prevents the progression of spinal curvature and Reimer's maturation index, improves the sagittal balance of the spine and pelvic obliquity.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of incisional vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy in the prevention of infection after posterior spinal fusion for pediatric neuromuscular scoliosis, in comparison to a regular gauze bandage.
The current study would prospectively evaluate the dosing requirements, efficacy and safety of clevidipine for controlled hypotension during spinal surgery in the pediatric population. As the investigators currently have projects underway which include those patients having scoliosis surgery for idiopathic scoliosis, this trial would include only those undergoing scoliosis surgery for neuromuscular disease.
