Abstract
Objective. To analyze results of multimodal surgical treatment of patients with severe scoliosis involving concave thoracoplasty.
Material and Methods. A total of 40 patients aged from 12 to 31 years with spinal deformities of 70-150° were operated on with posterior CD instrumentation combined with elevating thoracoplasty on the concave side of the thorax deformity. Mean follow-up period was 2 years. Dynamics of the respiratory function was studied. Patients underwent X-ray and CT examinations of the spine, and appearance assessment.
Results. The mean preoperative Cobb angle of the major thoracic curve was 101° (range: 70-150°), and postoperative - 47°; postoperative correction was 54° (53 %). The loss of correction was not practically registered at the immediate and long-term follow-up. The mean preoperative Cobb angle of the compensatory lumbar curve was 50.5°, and postoperative - 20.6°. The mean thoracic kyphosis was 51° before surgery and 28.7° after surgery. The mean lung vital capacity was 56.3 % before surgery, and 66.5% in 12 months after surgery.
Conclusion. Concave thoracoplasty provides increased mobility of the deformity, and improvement of stabilization, cosmetic and functional results of surgical treatment of patients with severe scoliosis. Hir. Pozvonoc. 2012;(2):37-43.
