Stability of the scoliotic spine after fusion.
The factors during and after operation which influence the development of a solid and stable posterior spinal fusion have been evaluated in 406 patients with scoliosis. The patients were managed in three different ways and all pseudarthroses were accurately detected by exploring the spines six months after the attempted fusion. The incidence of pseudarthroses was significantly lowered from 25 p...
متن کاملLaser triangulation measurements of scoliotic spine curvatures
BACKGROUND The main purpose of this research was to develop a new method for differentiating between scoliotic and healthy subjects by analysing the curvatures of their spines in the cranio-caudal view. METHODS The study included 247 subjects with physiological curvatures of the spine and 28 subjects with clinically confirmed scoliosis. The curvature of the spine was determined by a computer ...
متن کاملThe cause of axial rotation of the scoliotic spine.
To explain the cause of axial rotation in a scoliotic vertebral column, the influence of the gravitation force on a spine with a C-scoliosis has been investigated by means of a mechanical model. In this model the gravitation force takes hold of the three-dimensionally curved vertebral column eccentrically. From these reflections it appears that the axial rotation in the scoliotic spine can be e...
متن کاملBiomechanical modeling of posterior instrumentation of the scoliotic spine.
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformation of the spine that can be treated by vertebral fusion using surgical instrumentation. However, the optimal configuration of instrumentation remains controversial. Simulating the surgical maneuvers with personalized biomechanical models may provide an analytical tool to determine instrumentation configuration during the pre-operative planning. Finite e...
متن کاملThe effect of scoliotic deformity on spine kinematics in adolescents
BACKGROUND While adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) produces well characterized deformation in spinal form, the effect on spinal function, namely mobility, is not well known. Better understanding of scoliotic spinal mobility could yield better treatment targets and diagnoses. The purpose of this study was to characterize the spinal mobility differences due to AIS. It was hypothesized that th...
