Complications arising from thoracic chest wall surgeries, including thoracotomy and sternotomy, often include scoliosis among other complications. However, reported prevalence rates of scoliosis following chest wall surgery vary widely. This study aims to compare the prevalence of scoliosis in children who have undergone chest wall surgery to the prevalence of idiopathic scoliosis in the general population, as well as to observe gender ratios and curve direction in post-surgery scoliosis cases. A systematic review was conducted using PubMed and Scopus databases to identify relevant studies. Inclusion criteria comprised studies reporting scoliosis prevalence post chest wall surgery with follow-up times post-surgery. The search yielded 30 articles, all retrospective institutional cohort studies published between 1975 and 2024. Despite heterogeneity in study characteristics, the analysis revealed a 19% prevalence of acquired scoliosis among 5722 children who underwent chest wall surgery, higher than the reported 1% - 4% prevalence in the idiopathic population. Only three studies showed prevalence rates similar to the idiopathic population, possibly due to short follow-up periods. Further research with longer follow-up into skeletal maturity is warranted to better understand the implications of pediatric chest wall surgery on scoliosis development.展开更多

However, the efficacy of drains used for this purpose in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate outcomes of patients after posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis without wound suction drainage. Methods: A total of 66 Patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation for the correction of Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis without the use of drain from January 2012 to January 2021 were included. Wound dehiscence, wound hematoma, infection, preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin levels and need for transfusion were described as frequency and mean values. Results: The average age was 15.06 years. Hospital stay was 2.2 days. Patients were followed-up over 50.21 months. There was no deep infection, wound hematoma. The difference between just postoperative and three days after operation hemoglobin levels was not significant and no need for transfusion. Only 3 (4.5%) cases with superficial skin infection and 4 (6%) cases with skin and Wound dehiscence were treated with dressing and antibiotics with full recovery. Conclusion: Without using drain for patients with idiopathic scoliosis who underwent posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation, no increase in blood loss, transfusion requirements, wound infection, skin dehiscence, and wound hematoma was observed.展开更多

Non-surgical scoliosis treatment options for adults are not widely recommended, largely due to lack of research in this area. Pain management options for adults are focused primarily on treating scoliosis-related pain, and not necessarily the scoliosis itself, such as epidural injections, prescription pain medications, and general physical therapy. Recent studies reporting non-surgical, scoliosis-specific treatment methods in adults are encouraging, but their study designs limit extrapolation. The current study reports the self-reported pain and radiographic outcomes in adult patients wearing a scoliosis activity suit for at least 10 years. A total of 22 patient charts that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected for review. Cobb angle radiographic measurements and self-rated quadruple numerical pain rating scale (QVAS) at baseline and 10-year follow-up were used as the outcomes. Cobb angle measurements were compared at baseline and 10 years and subdivided according to scoliosis curve pattern. At 10 years, 68% of patients had improvements in their Cobb angle > 5˚, with an overall average of approximately 9˚. Significant differences were also observed in the 10-year Cobb angle measurements when compared to the predicted 10-year Cobb angles based on the established rate of linear progression in adults. A statistically significant change was also observed in the 10-year QVAS scores. These results suggest a potential role of the scoliosis activity suit for improving Cobb angles in adults and reducing scoliosis-related pain.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita(SEDC)is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary disease caused by COL2A1 mutations.SEDC primarily involves the skeletal system,with typical clinical manifestations,including short stature,hip dysplasia,and spinal deformity.Due to the low incidence of SEDC,there are only a few case reports regarding the surgical treatment of SEDC complicated with spinal deformities.CASE SUMMARY We report a case of a 16-year-old male patient with SEDC.He presented with typical short stature,atlantoaxial dysplasia,scoliosis,and hip dysplasia.Cervical magnetic resonance imaging showed spinal canal stenosis at the atlas level and cervical spinal cord compression with myelopathy.The scoliosis was a right thoracic curve with a Cobb angle of 65°.He underwent atlantoaxial reduction,decompression,and internal fixation from C1–C2 to relieve cervical myelopathy.Three months after cervical surgery,posterior correction surgery for scoliosis was performed from T3 to L4.Scoliosis was corrected from 66°to 8°and remained stable at 2-year follow-up.CONCLUSION This is the first case report of a patient with SEDC who successfully underwent surgery for atlantoaxial dysplasia and scoliosis.The study provides an important reference for the surgical treatment of SEDC complicated with spinal deformities.
文摘Background: In spine surgery postoperative closed suction drainage is used to decrease the potential risks of wound hematoma formation, and reduces the risk of infection, cord compression and neurologic deficit. However, the efficacy of drains used for this purpose in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate outcomes of patients after posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis without wound suction drainage. Methods: A total of 66 Patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation for the correction of Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis without the use of drain from January 2012 to January 2021 were included. Wound dehiscence, wound hematoma, infection, preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin levels and need for transfusion were described as frequency and mean values. Results: The average age was 15.06 years. Hospital stay was 2.2 days. Patients were followed-up over 50.21 months. There was no deep infection, wound hematoma. The difference between just postoperative and three days after operation hemoglobin levels was not significant and no need for transfusion. Only 3 (4.5%) cases with superficial skin infection and 4 (6%) cases with skin and Wound dehiscence were treated with dressing and antibiotics with full recovery. Conclusion: Without using drain for patients with idiopathic scoliosis who underwent posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation, no increase in blood loss, transfusion requirements, wound infection, skin dehiscence, and wound hematoma was observed.
文摘BACKGROUND Acute spinal subdural haematoma(ASSH)is a rare and potentially devastating condition with a variable prognosis.Previously described subdural haematomas were thought to have occurred spontaneously or be related to major or minor iatrogenic or traumatic injuries caused by surgery,spinal puncture or epidural anaesthesia.Other contributing pathologies have been described,such as intradural tumours or spinal arteriovenous malformations.ASSH has also been associated with anticoagulation therapy,haemostatic abnormalities and risk factors such as pregnancy.To the best of our knowledge,this case study described the first reported occurrence of an ASSH during spinal surgery in a paediatric patient.The patient was not known to have any coagulopathies,and no obvious vascular lesions were documented.The surgical procedure did not directly involve the dura mater,and no evident intraoperative dural tears were found.CASE SUMMARY We reported and discussed a case of ASSH complicating a posterior spinal instrumented fusion during surgery for paediatric congenital scoliosis.This condition has not been previously described.We made recommendations for facing such an occurrence,explored its aetiology in the context of malformation and discussed the benefits of neuromonitoring during scoliosis correction and the management protocol.We conducted a PubMed literature review for cases of paediatric ASSH and other closely related disorders.We reviewed recommendations regarding neuromonitoring and treatment management in such cases.CONCLUSION ASSH is a rare complication of posterior spinal instrumented fusion.Published cases are more often associated with anticoagulation therapy or coagulopathy.Neuromonitoring is strongly recommended to detect and assess neurological status,thus enabling rapid diagnosis and treatment and facilitating early spinal decompression and a return to a normal neurological status.

文摘Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a spinal deformity with unknown etiology and high incidence,especially in adolescent females.If scoliosis patients do not get effective treatment in the early stage,the degree of scoliosis will continue to worsen with the growth of age or the rapid development of scoliosis in a short time,and the appearance deformities such as high and low shoulders and razor back will gradually appear,which can affect the cardiopulmonary function and even shorten life expectancy.It has a great impact on the physical and mental health of the patients.Mild scoliosis is often well controlled by bracing,and moderate to severe scoliosis deformity often requires scoliosis corrective surgery.In adolescent idiopathic scoliosis correction,pedicle screws offer better stability and firmness,stronger orthopedic force,and lower incidence of related complications caused by instruments than traditional hook and conical internal fixation instruments.At the same time,scoliosis patients have uneven development of the left and right sides of the vertebral body,narrow diameter of concave pedicle and varying degrees of rotation of parietal vertebra,resulting in changes in the position of important anatomical structures such as spinal cord and thoracic aorta in the spinal canal.It makes it difficult to place pedicle screws,resulting in a high misplacement rate.How to improve the safety of screw placement,reduce the misplacement rate and the risk of spinal cord,nerve root,blood vessels,viscera and so on,has always been the focus of spinal surgeons.This paper summarizes the related literature on the effects of new techniques such as pedicle anatomy,complications of nail placement and computer navigation,and 3D guided template on the accuracy of screw placement in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients,and the safety of nail placement.In order to provide reference for clinical practice.

文摘Objective:To study the position and the grade of screw perforation in the apical region of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS)surgery using a calibration technique for the intraoperative navigation error,and to analyze the related factors of navigation deviation and the clinical significance of the calibration technique.Methods:From 2017 to 2020,a total of 60 Lenke 1 AIS surgical cases were enrolled in this research.The 30 cases received surgery using the intraoperative navigation system(Navigation group)and another 30 cases were assisted with intraoperative navigation system with calibration technique(Calibration group)for the intraoperative navigation error.The basic information and radiological data of the both groups were all recorded.According to the Fu Chang-feng’s pedicle channel classification system,the pedicle on the apical region of the two groups was classified.And then the accuracy of screw placement of the two groups was evaluated according to the Rao’s classification.Results:A total of 600 screws were placed in the two groups.The 297 and 303 pedicle screws were implanted in the navigation group and the calibration group,respectively.In the apical region of the calibration group,the rates of the grade 0 screw placement in type A,B and C pedicle were 95.7%,86.7%and 68.9%respectively.It was a statistically significant difference from the 73.9%,66.9%and 30.0%in the navigation group respectively(P<0.05).In the calibration group,the rates of the medial cortical perforation in the type A,B,C and D pedicle were 0%,1.6%,1.6%and 0%,respectively.The corresponding rates were 16.3%,16.9%,30.0%and 47.6%in the navigation group,respectively.Moreover,in the concave side of the apical region of the calibration group,the rates of the medial cortical perforation in the type A,B,C and D pedicle were 0%,3.6%,2.6%and 0%,respectively.Compared with the calibration group,the corresponding rates were higher in the navigation group(34.4%,25.9%,37.2%and 60.0%,respectively).No serious complications such as spinal cord or neurovascular injury occurred for the two groups.Conclusion:Compared with the intraoperative navigation system,the calibration technique for the intraoperative navigation error could provide the higher accuracy of pedicle screw placement in the apical region of the major curve,the lower medial cortical perforation rate,the less screws misplacement rate on the concave side and the less complication rate of the severe Lenke 1 AIS patients.
文摘Background: Scoliosis is a serious condition occurring in 1% to 4% of the population. This study was conducted and designed to educate society about scoliosis and measure the knowledge and awareness about it. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on members of the Saudi Society who have consented to participate in this research between the 8th of January and 5th of February 2023. Results: A total of 427 people agreed to participate in the study. The highest percentage of the participants was female 69.1%. About 41% participants out of 427 were in the age group 18-25 years. Most of the participants were from the Middle Region. (71.9%) of participants were unfamiliar with scoliosis, while (72.1%) had no prior knowledge of the condition. Conclusion: This study indicates insufficient awareness and knowledge about scoliosis in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, further studies are needed to raise awareness about scoliosis and help people to learn more about this condition.
文摘Scoliosis in adult patients is known to increase across the lifespan and increases the chance of chronic pain in later adulthood. Non-surgical scoliosis treatment options for adults are not widely recommended, largely due to lack of research in this area. Pain management options for adults are focused primarily on treating scoliosis-related pain, and not necessarily the scoliosis itself, such as epidural injections, prescription pain medications, and general physical therapy. Recent studies reporting non-surgical, scoliosis-specific treatment methods in adults are encouraging, but their study designs limit extrapolation. The current study reports the self-reported pain and radiographic outcomes in adult patients wearing a scoliosis activity suit for at least 10 years. A total of 22 patient charts that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected for review. Cobb angle radiographic measurements and self-rated quadruple numerical pain rating scale (QVAS) at baseline and 10-year follow-up were used as the outcomes. Cobb angle measurements were compared at baseline and 10 years and subdivided according to scoliosis curve pattern. At 10 years, 68% of patients had improvements in their Cobb angle > 5˚, with an overall average of approximately 9˚. Significant differences were also observed in the 10-year Cobb angle measurements when compared to the predicted 10-year Cobb angles based on the established rate of linear progression in adults. A statistically significant change was also observed in the 10-year QVAS scores. These results suggest a potential role of the scoliosis activity suit for improving Cobb angles in adults and reducing scoliosis-related pain.
