UNLABELLED Idiopathic scoliosis is one of the most common conditions encountered in paediatric practice. It is a three-dimensional (3D) spinal deformity. Conventional radiography is still the modality of choice for evaluation of children and adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, but it requires repeat radiographs until skeletal maturity is reached and does not provide information about spinal ...

Scoliosis is a 3D deformity of the spine combined with pathological structural changes. Scoliosis tend to progress through growth. BSPTS method based on Schroth principles is a specific physiotherapeutic treatment method for scoliosis. It considers the 3d changes of the spine, the geometrical and axial torsion of the hole spine, thorax and pelvic. Using specific exercise to achieve better muscl...

With advances in spine surgery, congenital spine deformity can now be treated with corrective fusion and osteotomy, even in young children. In these patients, the spine has various complications of vertebral anomalies and congenital fusion. A successful and safe outcome of corrective surgery requires evaluation by imaging preoperatively. Congenital spinal anomaly has conventionally been evaluat...

Pain in the thoracic region of the spine is a common complaint, which can be as disabling as cervical and lumbar pain (Edmonston & Singer 1997). There are reports in the literature of presentations involving acute cervical ‘locked facet joints’ as well as acute lumbar ‘locked facet joints’ (Maitland 1978; Exelby 2001). Although there are a multitude of conditions that can arise from the thoraci...

Background. Deep surgical site infection (DSSI) is one of the most severe complications in spinal surgery. The timing and nature DSSI are determining criteria choice treatment tactics. uniqueness clinical observation combination early DSSI, epidural abscess angular kyphotic deformity formed after a course conservative antibacterial therapy patient who underwent surgery for degenerative-dystroph...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Short-term readmission rates are becoming widely used as a quality and performance metric for hospitals. Data on unplanned short-term readmission after spine fusion for deformity in pediatric patients are limited. PURPOSE To characterize the rate and risk factors for short-term readmission after spine fusion for deformity in pediatric patients. STUDY DESIGN This is a retr...

Tuberculosis of the spine is a very frequent case in the practice of spine surgeons in the developing world, and is set to pose a challenge to the developed world in near future. Only anterior surgery seems to be falling short in potential for correction of the kyphotic deformity as well as of preventing gradual collapse later on. Posterior fixation has shown an excellent potential for correcti...

Introduction. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), described as a complex three-dimensional spinal deformity, is thought to affect neurophysiological processes that result in loss of proprioceptive input. The main purpose this case study investigate the effect Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) on spine joint reposition (JR) sense 20-year-old with AIS. Methods/ Case Description. ...

Spine deformities are among the most important spinal disorders, affecting health-related life quality. Although there are some studies in past centuries, most spine deformity-related studies and research has started in the last century. Many surgical techniques, performed between 1960 and 1990, made scoliosis a touchable pathology. These techniques started with Harrington"s system, wiring tech...
