Filter by:Several deformities of the spine exist such as degenerative lumbar scoliosis. These deformities can generate functional discomfort and limit the patient's quality of life. In the event of severe trunk imbalance and progression of the deformity, operative correction of the spinal deformity by instrumentation and posterior arthrodesis may be indicated. Surgical techniques and instrumentation have evolved over the past 5 years. These changes in surgical strategies have a potential impact on the patient's quality of life and the correction results in the medium and long term. The aim of the study is the analysis of surgical corrections obtained and radiological changes over time with classic 2-rod techniques versus modern 4-rod instrumentation techniques
Creation of a pediatric robotic spine surgery registry will allow for data collection and analysis on the coupled use of robotics and navigation in pediatric spine deformity surgery across participating study institutions. Eventually, an educational and informative framework for this technology will be established.
Respiratory muscle testing allows a quantitative assessment of inspiratory and expiratory muscles in children of any age with primary or secondary respiratory muscle impairment, in order to better understand the pathophysiology of respiratory impairment and guide therapeutic management. The use of an invasive technique (esogastric probe) makes it possible to specifically explore the diaphragm, the accessory inspiratory muscles and the expiratory muscles in order to detect dysfunction or paralysis of these muscles, and to estimate the work of breathing in order to better guide the respiratory management. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the respiratory effort in children with primary or secondary impairment of the respiratory muscles during spontaneous breathing or during mechanical ventilation.
This study was planned to investigate whether there is a visual-spatial perception disorder in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis and also to reveal its dependent/independent relationship with vestibular dysfunction.
the study will evaluate the clinical outcomes of an intra- and postoperative fast-track protocol in patients undergoing instrumented posterior arthrodesis surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
There is a high probability of mechanical complications in patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis after long segment fixation and fusion, and there are few studies on distal borderline kyphosis deformity/failure. This study was designed to retrospectively analyze the patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) who underwent posterior selective decompression and long segment fixation and fusion surgery in the lumbar spine department of our hospital from April 2009 to May 2016. Patients' basic data, surgical data and preoperative, immediate postoperative and follow-up imaging data were collected to study the incidence of distal mechanical complications, risk factors and their relationship with clinical symptom scores in DLS patients undergoing posterior selective decompression and long segment fixation and fusion. It has guiding significance for clinical operation decision making.
Prospective, randomized control trial To determine if oral caffeine decreases the frequency of opioid demand in children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis after their spinal fusion surgery To compare pain scale ratings, number of requests for diazepam, average heart rate, average blood pressure, sex, age, ethnicity, post-op day of discharge, operative time, estimated intraoperative blood loss, remittance post-surgery, length of hospital stay, and segments fused during spinal fusion surgery.
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.
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.
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
