Radiography, Scoliosis, Spinal fusion, TractionObjective: To determine the efficacy of imaging patients in a state of traction (“traction imaging”) for selection of upper and lower vertebrae to undergo instrumentation (UIV and LIV, respectively) to correct moderate to severe, rigid scoliosis....
6. Although the etiology is unclear and can not be prevented, coupled with mild to moderate scoliosis, not only patients with no particular feeling, parents, if you do not pay more attention, it is difficult to find the problem. 虽然病因不清楚而且事先无法预防,加上轻、中度的侧凸,不仅病人没...
Scoliosis-Specific exercises can reduce the progression of severe curves in adult idiopathic scoliosis: a long-term cohort study. Scoliosis fusion surgery is generally considered the only means to stop the progression of adult idiopathic scoliosis (ADIS), but for patients refusing sur... Alessandra,...
Moderate- to high-grade spondylolisthesis is a difficult pathology to treat, with complications not infrequently associated with injury to the L5 root. Attention to detail with preoperative planning and surgical technique can minimize the risk of complication in these surgeries. We present here a rare...

Objective To derive the equation for estimating stature, based on tibial length, for children with moderate-to-severe cerebral palsy (CP) and lower limb joint contracture or scoliosis. Methods The participants (3–12-years-old) included 50 children with moderate-to-severe CP (mean age, 8.3 ±...
Body mass index (BMI) (P = .020), female sex (P = .047), and preoperative cervical scoliosis (CS) (P = .014) were independently associated with higher odds of mechanical complications. Receiver operating characteristic curves defined a preoperative CS of 5 degrees or greater to be the ...
