Anterior surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Anterior open scoliosis surgery using the dual rod system is a safe and rather effective procedure for the correction of scoliosis (50–60 %). Thoracic hypokyphosis and rib hump correction with open anterior rather than posterior instrumentation appear to be the better approaches, although the latter is somewhat controversial with current posterior vertebral column derotation devices. In patients with Risser grade 0, hyperkyphosis and adding-on may occur with anterior thoracic spine instrumentation. Anterior thoracoscopic instrumentation provides a similar correction (65 %) with good cosmetic outcomes, but it is associated with a rather high risk of instrumentation (pull-out, pseudoarthrosis) and pulmonary complications. Approximately 80 % of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) curves of >70° have restrictive lung disease or smaller than normal lung volumes. AIS patients undergoing anterior thoracotomy or anteroposterior surgery will demonstrate a significant decrease in percentage of predicted lung volumes during follow-up. The thoracoabdominal approach and thoracoscopic approach without thoracoplasty do not produce similar changes in detrimental lung volume. In patients with severe AIS (>90°), posterior-only surgery with TPS provides similar radiographic correction of the deformity (44 %) with better pulmonary function outcomes than anteroposterior surgery. Vascular spinal cord malfunction after segmental vessel ligation during anterior scoliosis surgery has been reported. Based on the current literature, the main indication for open anterior scoliosis instrumentation is Lenke 5C thoracolumbar or lumbar AIS curve with anterior instrumentation typically between T11 and L3.     

Error traps and preventative strategies for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis spinal surgery

Anesthesia for posterior spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis remains one of the most common surgeries performed in adolescents. These procedures have the potential for significant intraprocedural and postoperative complications. The potential for pressure injuries related to prone positioning must be understood and addressed. Additionally, neuromonitoring remains a mainstay for patient care in order to adequately assess patient neurologic integrity and alert the providers to a reversible action. As such, causes of neuromonitoring signal loss must be well understood, and the provider should have a systematic approach to signal loss. Further, anesthetic design must facilitate intraoperative wake-up to allow for a definitive assessment of neurologic function. Perioperative bleeding risk is high in posterior spinal fusion due to the extensive surgical exposure and potentially lengthy operative time, so the provider should undertake strategies to reduce blood loss and avoid coagulopathy. Pain management for adolescents undergoing spinal fusion is also challenging, and inadequate analgesia can delay recovery, impede patient/family satisfaction, increase the risk of chronic postsurgical pain/disability, and lead to prolonged opioid use. Many of the significant complications associated with this procedure, however, can be avoided with intentional and evidence-based approaches covered in this review.

目的:探讨Lenke 3型青少年特发性脊柱侧凸(adolescent idiopathic scoliosis,AIS)患儿脊柱后路矫形术后身高增长(ΔSH)的相关影响因素。方法:选取2014年1月~2016年6月于我院行脊柱后路矫形手术的女性Lenke 3型AIS患儿90例,年龄15.0±2.6岁。于站立位全脊柱正侧位X线片上测量术前、术后的主弯侧凸Cobb角1(最大侧凸Cobb角)、侧凸Cobb角2(次之侧凸Cobb角)、脊柱高度(spinal height,SH)、胸椎后凸角(thoracic kyphosis,TK)及腰椎前凸角(lumbar lordosis,LL)。应用Pearson相关分析ΔSH与其他参数之间的相关性,应用线性回归探讨ΔSH的相关影响因素。结果:ΔSH为2.9±1.0cm。Pearson相关性分析示ΔSH与术前的侧凸Cobb角1(P=0.000)、侧凸Cobb角2(P=0.000)及TK(P=0.023)均呈显著相关性,与术后的侧凸Cobb角1(P=0.000)、侧凸Cobb角2(P=0.000)、LL(P=0.025)、侧凸Cobb角1变化(P=0.000)、侧凸Cobb角2变化(P=0.000)及TK变化(P=0.032)均呈显著相关性。线性回归分析示ΔSH与侧凸Cobb角1变化(P=0.017)、侧凸Cobb角2变化(P=0.001)均呈显著线性相关(R~2=0.333);另外,ΔSH与术前侧凸Cobb角1(P=0.006)、侧凸Cobb角2(P=0.007)、术前TK(P=0.038)亦呈显著线性相关(R~2=0.595)。结论:Lenke 3型AIS患儿脊柱后路矫形术后身高增长的相关影响因素包括术前、术后的主弯侧凸Cobb角、术前TK及其术后变化值。主弯Cobb角矫正是Lenke 3型AIS术后身高增加的最主要影响因素。Lenke 3型AIS患儿的术前侧凸Cobb角及术前TK可以较好地预测患儿术后身高恢复情况。     

Scoliosis correction objectives in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

BACKGROUND: A recent study revealed large variability among a group of 32 spine surgeons in the preoperative instrumentation strategies for the same 5 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. The surgical plans were determined to be surgeon and curve-type dependent. It is hypothesized that this variability may be attributed to different objectives for correction. This study is presented to document and analyze 3-dimensional (3-D) surgical correction goals for AIS as determined by a sample of experienced spine surgeons. METHODS: Fifty surgeons from the Spinal Deformity Study Group were surveyed and asked to rank 20 parameters of scoliosis correction and to provide weights for correction in the coronal, sagittal, and transverse planes and for mobility (number of unfused vertebrae) according to their importance for an optimal 3-D correction. Responders were also asked to complete a more detailed survey where the correction objectives were assessed for each of the 6 Lenke curve types. Importance and variability of the correction parameters were evaluated using median (M) and interquartile range (IQR) of the rank (1-20). Intraobserver reliability was assessed by means of intraclass correlation coefficients. RESULTS: Twenty-five surgeons completed the first questionnaire. There was overall agreement that sagittal (M, 1; IQR, 1) and coronal (M, 2; IQR, 0.5) balance were the most important parameters for an optimal correction. Apical vertebral rotation was the least important. All other parameters were highly variable. The Cobb angles were moderately important, with ranks between 8 and 11 (IQR, 3-5.75). Lumbar lordosis (M, 6.5; IQR, 6.5) had a better rank and consensus than thoracic kyphosis (M, 13; IQR, 10). Results for individual parameters were in agreement with the weights given for an optimal 3-D correction in the coronal (36%) and sagittal (34%) planes. A subgroup of 10 surgeons completed the second survey. Mobility was more important for Lenke curve types 3 to 6 than for types 1 and 2 (P < 0.032). The coronal plane was more important for curve types 2 and 4 than for the other types (P < 0.032). The intraobserver reliability for determining the different parameters of scoliosis correction was poor to moderate. CONCLUSIONS: There is a large variability in scoliosis correction objectives. The variability is both surgeon and curve-type dependent. The variability in instrumentation goals may explain the documented variability of spine instrumentation strategies among surgeons. Aside from achieving sagittal and coronal balance, the goals of surgical correction in AIS remain to be further determined and agreed upon by a consensus of spine deformity surgeons. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V.     

Hybrid instrumentation for correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

New technology and instrumentation techniques are continually entering the spine field, leaving the scoliosis surgeon with a wide variety of options for the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. All-screw constructs are currently the most popular. However, they remain controversial because of possible complications, and also because they have been associated with a decrease in thoracic kyphosis, not observed with hybrid instrumentation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a hybrid construct: hooks and wires proximally, but pedicle screws distally. Forty-three patients with a minimum 2-year follow-up were included. The mean preoperative Cobb angle of the major curve was 60.85 degrees +/- 21 degrees. At the final evaluation it was reduced to 28.44 degrees +/- 11.9 degrees (mean correction 53.3%, p < 0.0001). The mean translation of the apical vertebra was corrected from -19.13 +/- 49 mm to -9.42 +/- 28.9 mm. The average thoracic kyphosis improved from 24 degrees +/- 14.3 degrees preoperatively to 30.7 degrees +/- 7.1 degrees, representing a mean correction of 28%. Kyphosis at the T10-L2 level was within normal values in all patients at the final evaluation. Complications included one superficial infection, one implant removal due to late onset wound infection, and 2 revisions to extend the fusion more distally. In other words, operative treatment with hybrid instrumentation yielded satisfactory results, with less risk of neurological damage. An excellent outcome in all planes could be safely achieved and maintained for a minimum of 2 years. CONCLUSION: why use an expensive all-screw construct, knowing that a hybrid construct is kyphosis sparing, cheaper, safer and more resistant to pull-out?
