Filter by:The aim of this work is to evaluate the long-term outcome of the graduates (those who completed the gradual lengthening procedures), to better understand the full scope and natural course of Growing Rods treatment for EOS and to have a glimpse of what happens to the graduates.
This is a single-center study comparing the effect of intravenous (IV) Lignocaine given throughout posterior spinal fusion surgery on the reduction of morphine usage during postoperative period in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients.
The purpose of this study is to establish probable benefits and evaluate the safety and preliminary effectiveness of the Braive™ GMS when used in the treatment of pediatric progressive scoliosis.
The study uses a yoga-like isometric posture and botulinum injections to reduce the curves in adolescent idiopathic lumbar scoliosis. Three previous studies show that the yoga pose is effective for reversing scoliotic curves; Botulinum toxin has been approved by the FDA for teenagers. However, no studies using the two of them together have been done until this one.
Aim: It was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of three-dimensional scoliosis exercises and balance-coordination exercises in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT) is a novel, minimally invasive, growth modulation technique that was recently approved by the FDA under a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE). The goal of AVBT is to control curve progression by applying compression on the convex side of the spine deformity. While there has been great initial enthusiasm about the technique as an alternate treatment option to spinal fusion for skeletally immature children with scoliosis, there is a need to better understand the long-term outcomes. The purpose of this study is to report the long-term clinical outcomes of skeletally immature patients treated with AVBT, specifically: 1. The effect on three-dimensional spine growth as compared to normal controls 2. Maintenance of major Cobb angle less than or equal to 50 degrees at skeletal maturity 3. Complications associated with both the procedure and the device
The construction methods of the same brace vary on an experiential basis according to who builds them, the prescriber, the characteristics of the patients and also the innovations introduced to ensure greater comfort for the patient. The closure of the brace or the way in which the two shells are fixed varies at the discretion of the orthopedic technician. Plastic materials have also changed. In addition, the use of the classic cast for the production of the negative model was gradually replaced by cad-cam technology. In some cases, modular constructions were introduced with respect to the customized one. All this has changed the classic corsets over time, even without changing their name / type, and according to the hypothesis that their effectiveness remained at least the same, if not even improved. There are no publications that have shown variations in efficacy that can be correlated with some of these stylistic variations. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively investigate whether the various innovations and stylistic variations over time have had an effect on the clinical, functional and radiographic outcomes in growing subjects suffering from spinal deformity treated with corsets at a specialized center.
This study aims to develop a new instrument capable of providing an efficient measure of the quality of life of parents of conservatively treated patients with spinal deformity. The development of a questionnaire in a Rasch environment and specifically developed for parents of conservatively treated patients will ensure greater sensitivity and specificity of the questionnaire.
The objective is to evaluate the effect of the association of virtual reality sessions with usual management on the cumulative consumption of morphine equivalent post-operatively in adolescents aged 13 to 18 years who have undergone scoliosis surgery.
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis affects 3-4% of the Canadian population, of which about 10% will need a brace treatment during pubertal growth spurt. Our team has developed an innovative conception method for brace design by simulating the growth modulation using numerical models. Those models are customized to each patient. In this project, the investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of this platform customized treatment and validate its clinical application.
