Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Surgery Utilising Concave Apical Translation and Simultaneous Convex Apical Derotation: A Technical Note and Case Series
Author(s): 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 densi.. View More»
