چکیده
Group 2 &3 Posterior Instrumentation (PI): 91 patients, average age 14.2 yrs. The posterior group was divided into all Hook/ hybrid (Group 2, n=45) and all Pedicle screw construct (Group 3, n=46), for evaluation of radiological outcomes. The groups were compared for various surgical and radiological outcomes at immediate post-op, 2 and 5 year intervals. Average follow-up 6.6 years (5-12 yrs). Results The groups were similar with regards to age, Risser grade, and Cobb angle of Main Thoracic curve.

BACKGROUND Posterior spinal fusion with segmental instrumentation is the gold standard for the surgical treatment of thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. More recently, anterior surgery and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with spinal instrumentation have become available. The purpose of the present study was to compare the radiographic and clinical outcomes as well as pulmonary functi...

Surgical management of severe rigid dystrophic neurofibromatosis (NF) scoliosis is technically demanding and produces varying results. In the current study, we reviewed 9 patients who were treated with combined anterior and posterior fusion using different types of instrumentation (i.e., pedicle screw, hybrid, and all-hook constructs) at our institute.Between September 2001 and July 2010 at our...

Background: Scoliosis is one of the most common spinal deformities with subsequent decrease in pulmonary function. The effects of surgical correction on the pulmonary function of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis are controversial. The purpose of the present study was to compare the postoperative pulmonary function changes in different surgical approaches chosen for its correction. ...
