Abstract
Objective. To assess short-term results of a VEPTR instrumentation application for treatment of juvenile malignant progressing scoliotic deformity of the spine associated with neurofibromatosis type 1.
Material and Methods. Three patients aged 5.5 to 7 years were operated on for severe deformity of the spine associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. The mean age at the time of deformity detection was 3.5 years. Average magnitude of the primary scoliotic curve was 89.3°. Device configuration was varied depending on nature of the deformity.
Results. Primary scoliotic curvature was reduced after surgery down to 67°. Correction was 22.3° (25 %). Complications were not recorted.
Conclusion. The VEPTR instrumentation is a method of choice for controlled correction of infantile and juvenile deformities of the spine and thorax of various etiology.
