https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2005.2.50-55
Abstract
Objective. To analyze the results of two-stage surgical treatment of progressive kyphosis associated with Scheuermann’s disease performed in the Spine Surgery Department for Children and Adolescents from 1996 till 2004.
Material and Methods. Fourteen patients were surgically treated. Surgical intervention included segmental vertebrectomy, interbody fusion, and kyphosis correction with Cotrel – Dubousset Instrumentation (CDI).
Results. Kyphosis was reduced from 78.1° to 43.4°; the loss of correction during the follow-up period (minimum 2 years) was 4.4°. Sagittal contour of the lower thoracic and lumbar spine was also normalized.
Conclusion. Two-stage surgical intervention permits to achieve significant cosmetic and pain-reducing effect in patients with major kyphosis associated with Scheuermann’s disease.
