Abstract

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Surgery Utilising Concave Apical Translation and Simultaneous Convex Apical Derotation: A Technical Note and Case Series

Sumul Jang*

The effectiveness of pedicle screws in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery is still up for dispute. The surgeon element and the correction technique, in addition to the implant, are crucial for the quality of the treatment. This study's objectives were to provide the simultaneous convex apical derotation and concave apical translation approach employing polyaxial pedicle screws and to report the radiography results. Materials and Techniques The study included consecutive AIS patients who had surgery appointments. Cobb angle, apical vertebral translation, thoracic kyphosis, and apical vertebral rotation were among the radiographic parameters that were measured before and after surgery. In plain radiography, coronal plane characteristics were measured. The computed tomography scan's sagittal and axial plane characteristics were measured. The density of implants was calculated.
