Pedicle Subtraction Osteotomy in a 5-Year-Old Child with Congenital Kyphosis
author
Abstract:
Vertebral anomalies may also distort the normal regional or global spinal alignment and necessitate some therapeutic interventions. Hemiepiphysiodesis is a traditional procedure usually described for these young patients but in more severe cases some type of osteotomy seems to be necessary. In this technical note, we describe a 5-year-old boy with failed previous hemiepiphysiodesis surgery, who was successfully treated with one level pedicle subtraction osteotomy. This procedure not only corrects the kyphotic deformity at the time of the procedure (not relying on future spinal growth), but also avoids more hazardous anterior approach.

full textPedicle subtraction osteotomy for rigid post-tuberculous kyphosis.
We studied 15 patients with healed tuberculosis of the spine and a resultant kyphosis. We selected only those with no neurological deficit and performed a wedge resection of the vertebra using a transpedicular approach. The wedge was removed from the apex of the deformity. For those with a neurological deficit, we chose the conventional anterior debridement and decompression with 360 degrees ci...

Paediatric bilateral multiple trigger fingers are extremely rare. The underlying etiopathogenesis and hence the surgical principles of management of trigger finger in children are different from those of pediatric trigger thumb and adult trigger finger. In this paper, we report the case of a 5 year old girl with congenital trigger digits involving the middle, ring and little fingers of both han...

full textPedicle subtraction osteotomy for correction of severe thoracolumbar kyphosis in ankylosing spondylitis.
Introduction Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a chronic inflammatory arthritis, primarily involves the axial skeleton and results in severe thoracolumbar kyphotic deformity. Treating AS-related kyphotic deformity typically involves one or more posterior wedge osteotomies and manipulation of the position of the spine by forceful manual extension to close them. Several types of osteotomy are availabl...
