Abstract:
Study: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery has been
going on for many decades. Our operating series began
in 1992 and has continued over the years with a certain
numerical constancy, up to now, having operated some
hundreds of patients.
Objectives: The aim of surgery of severe adolescent
idiopathic scoliosis is to rebalance the spine, stabilizing
the correction obtained to avoid further aggravation of the
deformity.
Methods: Since 2012 we use a prosthetic system associated
with a philosophy of correction. We have always modeled
the bar on the sagittal plane and corrected the scoliosis by
translation, then performing a real direct derotation.
We have associated compression and distraction maneuvers
in the selected cases. We have carried out systems rich in
instrumentation, in general, screws and we have connected
them with Cobalt Chrome bars.
Results: The results are good in terms of correction and
therefore rebalancing of the rachis and therefore of the
shoulders and pelvis, maintenance of the correction
obtained and also a discrete reduction of the hump.
We have not been free from short- and medium-term
complications.
Conclusions: The aim is to rebalance the spine and stabilize
it in the arthrodesis area to avoid its development. They
say that after one year from this surgery the patient can
perform a gymnastic activity, even in a competitive nature.
