Fusionless surgery for scoliosis.
Scoliosis is a very common condition, affecting approximately 7 million children in the United States. Treatment of this condition in young children can be challenging. A variety of techniques that avoid spinal fusion have been developed to manage scoliosis in this patient population. This review article describes several of these methods, including growing rods, prosthetic ribs, vertebral stap...
متن کاملBiomechanics of Two Fusionless Scoliosis Correction Techniques- Rigid Staple vs. Flexible Tether
INTRODUCTION: Currently, there are two clinically relevant, fusionless surgical treatments that utilize growth modulation for scoliosis deformity correction. The first treatment incorporates the use of two parallel Nitinol staples and the second treatment uses a flexible, ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) tether. Both techniques have been shown to successfully modulate spinal gr...
متن کاملGrowing rod analysis for the fusionless correction of Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS)
Introduction Managing spinal deformities in young children is challenging, particularly early onset scoliosis (EOS). Surgical intervention is often required if EOS has been unresponsive to conservative treatment particularly with rapidly progressive curves. An emerging treatment option for EOS is fusionless scoliosis surgery. Similar to bracing, this surgical option potentially harnesses growth...
متن کاملA Novel Spinal Implant for Fusionless Scoliosis Correction: A Biomechanical Analysis of the Motion Preserving Properties of a Posterior Periapical Concave Distraction Device
STUDY DESIGN Biomechanical study. OBJECTIVE Recently, a posterior concave periapical distraction device for fusionless scoliosis correction was introduced. The goal of this study was to quantify the effect of the periapical distraction device on spinal range of motion (ROM) in comparison with traditional rigid pedicle screw-rod instrumentation. METHODS Using a spinal motion simulator, 6 hum...
متن کاملBiomechanical Modelling of Electrical Stimulation in the Correction of Scoliosis
One method of assessing the potential efficacy of various clinical treatments is the use of computational modelling. Previous modelling studies have indicated that ideal muscle activation patterns could produce a better immediate corrective pattern than bracing . This would suggest that there is great potential in electrical stimulation, but compared with bracing, and with a general lack of cli...
