Supine fulcrum bending test and in-cast correction of Scheuermann's thoracic kyphosis
Materials and methods From 2001 to 2007, eighty-six adolescents were conservatively treated for Scheuermann juvenile kyphosis of thoracic location. Charts of 55 patients, 39 boys and 16 girls, were accessible. The age was from 11 to 18 years, with a mean of 14.6 ± 1.6 years. The location of hyper-kyphosis was middle thoracic in most cases, apart from five patients with a thoraco-lumbar location...
متن کاملPrediction of scoliosis correction with thoracic segmental pedicle screw constructs using fulcrum bending radiographs.
STUDY DESIGN A retrospective series of 35 idiopathic scoliosis patients underwent spinal fusion with a segmental thoracic pedicle screw system. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the amount of scoliosis correction with segmental pedicle screw constructs, and assess whether the fulcrum bending radiograph can predict surgical correction. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The fulcrum bending radiograph is highly ...
متن کاملPedicle-sparing transforaminal thoracic spine wedge osteotomy for kyphosis correction
BACKGROUND Correction of a focal kyphotic deformity at times requires performing a pedicle subtraction osteotomy, which is accompanied by loss of pedicles as anchor points at the affected level in addition to significant blood loss. To help alleviate these two issues, a novel osteotomy technique for correction of kyphosis using a transforaminal approach to the thoracic vertebral body is describ...
متن کاملAn Extension–Distraction Injury of the Thoracic Spine with Traumatic Partial Correction of Thoracic Kyphosis
Study Design The study is a case report. Objective The authors aim to report an unusual injury pattern in a patient previously treated for thoracic kyphoscoliosis. Methods A postoperative (computed tomography) CT of a healthy 24-year-old man who underwent posterior instrumentation and fusion for a kyphoscoliosis deformity was compared with a CT performed after a motor vehicle accident (MVA) 1 y...
متن کاملEvaluating the Rotation Correction of the Main Thoracic Curve in Severe Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Bending and Traction vs. Fulcrum – A Preliminary Report
BACKGROUND Flexibility evaluation methods were only used to assess the changes of coronal Cobb angle in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Little attention was attached to the vertebral rotation in these methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS 21 patients with severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were enrolled in this study. Coronal flexibility and rotation correction were compared on...
