The Rib Hump in Idiopathic Scoliosis
This paper describes a simple method for the recording of rib deformity in idiopathic scoliosis. The relationships have been recorded between the measured rib hump and rib depression deformities and I) the rotation of the vertebral bodies (as measured by the method of Nash and Moe on the standing radiograph); 2) the degree of lateral curvature (as measured by the method of Cobb on the standing ...
متن کاملRib resection in infantile idiopathic scoliosis.
Analysis was made of the results of two methods of treatment of progressive infantile idiopathic scoliosis: a group of forty-eight children treated by rib resection, localiser jackets and Milwaukee brace were compared with a 'control' group of nineteen children treated by localiser jackets and Milwaukee brace alone. This failed to show any significant difference between the two groups. Carefull...
متن کاملAssessment of early rib hump deformity correction in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis treated with a dynamic derotation brace using the double rib contour sign
Methods In total, 20 children with right thoracic (n= 14) and double curves (n=6) (right thoracic left lumbar) were assessed. The SRS/SOSORT inclusion criteria for brace treatment were used. The Cobb angle was measured on postero-anterior and the rib index (RI) was calculated from the double rib contour sign (DRCS) according to Grivas et al. 2002 on lateral standing spinal radiographs. The refe...
متن کاملThe effect of growth on the correlation between the spinal and rib cage deformity: implications on idiopathic scoliosis pathogenesis
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have attempted to quantify the correlation between the surface deformity and the Cobb angle without considering growth as an important factor that may influence this correlation. In our series, we noticed that in some younger referred children from the school-screening program there is a discrepancy between the thoracic scoliometer readings and the morphology of thei...
متن کاملRib fixation for severe chest deformity due to multiple rib fractures.
The operative indications for rib fracture repair have been a matter of debate. However, several reports have suggested that flail chest, pain on respiration, and chest deformity/defect are potential conditions for rib fracture repair. We describe our experience of rib fixation in a patient with severe chest deformity due to multiple rib fractures. A 70-year-old woman was admitted with right-si...
