Complete validation of plumbline distances as a screening tool for sagittal plane deformities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Material and methods Surface measurements (Formetric) of kyphosis/lordosis were considered the Gold Standard [1]. Correlations between Human PD (HPD), Formetric PD (FPD) and Gold Standard were searched in 129 school screening pupils (age 11.8±0.7): not correlated PD were eliminated. ROC-curve statistical technique was used to determine the best cut-off for remaining PDs. Final FPD were verified in 7257 Formetric evaluations from the Diers database (3 age groups: 6-9y12m, 1017y12m, 18-78). Final HPD were verified in 103 scoliosis/ hyperkyphosis patients aged 14.3±2.2.

Validity of distances from the plumbline in sagittal plane deformities: repeatability, correlation with kyphosis angles and normative values
Methods We performed 4 different studies in 4 different populations of adolescent idiopathic scoliotic and hyperkyphotic patients. In the first study we report the normative data of the plumbline measures in a general population of 180 adolescents. In the second study we compared the sagittal distances from the plumbline of C7, T12 and L3 with the measures of the Video Rasterstereography at the...

The aims of spinal deformity surgery are to achieve balance, relieve pain and prevent recurrence or worsening of the deformity.The main types of osteotomies are the Smith-Petersen osteotomy (SPO), pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO), bone-disc-bone osteotomy (BDBO) and vertebral column resection (VCR), in order of increasing complexity.SPO is a posterior column osteotomy in which the posterior ...
متن کاملSimplified technique for DaVinci view spine presentation
Background DaVinci presentation is a physician friendly picture of scoliotic spine seen from the cephalad side in the horizontal plane. This presentation is complementary to the standard view of the spine in two planes: frontal (anterior-posterior) and sagittal (lateral). DaVinci presentation can be obtained by using a few techniques which allow for three-dimensional reconstructions: CT, MRI, E...

متن کاملNon-radiographic methods of measuring global sagittal balance: a systematic review
BACKGROUND Global sagittal balance, describing the vertical alignment of the spine, is an important factor in the non-operative and operative management of back pain. However, the typical gold standard method of assessment, radiography, requires exposure to radiation and increased cost, making it unsuitable for repeated use. Non-radiologic methods of assessment are available, but their reliabil...
