THREE DIMENSIONAL ASSESSMENT OF SURGERY FOR ADOLESCENT IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS
Abstract
Comparative assessment of the surgery outcomes in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis operated on with CDI and Harrington rods was carried out. The evaluation was performed using routine X-ray for Cobb angle estimation and original computer optical topography for quantitative analysis of patients' back surface. Seventy-six patients were examined before, immediately after the corrective surgery and 2 years later. Out of them 41 were operated on with CDI and 35 with the Harrington rods. Computer optical topography demonstrated marked changes in a back shape and position of patient's trunk in three-dimensional space. Dynamic follow-up also revealed the different 3-D changes in patients who have been operated on with CDI and Harrington rod.
