Abstract |
Introduction |
Surgery for patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) may change spinal sagittal alignment, and postoperative adding-on may affect spinal sagittal balance after reconstruction. This study was to investigate the effect of surgery on spinal sagittal alignment and the relationship between postoperative adding-on and spinal sagittal balance in patients with AIS.
Hypothesis |
The hypothesis of this study was that the effect of surgery on AIS was associated with recovery of the spinal sagittal plane and that presence of postoperative adding-on might affect the spinal sagittal balance.
Materials and methods This retrospective study enrolled 22 patients who received surgical treatment. Clinical, imaging and follow-up data were analyzed.
Results |
After surgery, T1 slope (T1S) and thoracic kyphosis (TK) were significantly (P<0.05) lower in patients with postoperative adding-on (16.73°±6.12° for T1S and 28.95°±11.3° for TK) than those without adding-on (24.82°±8.59° for T1S and 40.29°±12.08° for TK). At the last follow-up, cervical lordosis (CL), T1S, and TK were significantly (P<0.05) lower in patients with adding-on (3.05°±11.41° for CL, 22.12°±3.68° for T1S, and 37.89°±8.97° for TK) than those without adding-on (15.94°±°13.6 for CL, 28.86°±4.26° for T1S, and 47.64°±7.1° for TK). The Cobb angle was significantly (19.65°±8.69° vs. 50.66°±11.46°; P<0.001) decreased after compared with that before surgery. At the final follow-up, the Cobb angle (26.48°±9.61° vs. 19.65°±8.69°, P<0.001), T1S (24.87°±5.11° vs. 20.04°±8.13°), and TK (41.88°±9.45° vs 33.53°±12.71°) all significantly (P<0.01) increased compared with those immediately after surgery. The Cobb angle significantly (26.48°±9.61° vs. 50.66°±11.46°, P<0.001) decreased while CL, T1S, and TK all significantly (8.32°±13.67° vs 2.47°±14.42° for CL, T1S 24.87°±5.11° vs. 21.28°±5.88° for T1S, and 41.88°±9.45° vs. 33.13°±10.97° for TK, P<0.05) increased at the final follow-up compared with those before surgery.
Discussion |
Surgery affects spinal sagittal alignment, and postoperative adding-on may affect spinal sagittal balance after reconstruction. Surgery as the ultimate approach for AIS has good effects but may result in some side effects.
Level of proof |
III, retrospective cohort study.
