Abstract
Objective. To analyze results of final surgical treatment for scoliosis in the first decade of life.
Material and Methods. In 2008–2016, a total of 95 patients with infantile and juvenile scoliosis were operated on using VEPTR instrumentation.
The final stage of surgical treatment was performed in 14 patients (9 girls, 5 boys). The average age at the start of treatment was 5.4 ± 2.1 years, average follow-up period – 2 years (6–36 months).
Results. Average value of the primary scoliotic curve before surgery was 83.0° ± 14.8°, thoracic kyphosis 41.1° ± 11.9°, lumbar lordosis 49.5° ± 4.9°. At the last follow-up average value of the primary scoliotic curve was reduced to 56.8° ± 14.1°, thoracic kyphosis to 24.5° ± 8.5°, lumbar lordosis to 38.4° ± 5.1° (p < 0.05). Space available for lung before surgery was 84.5 ± 8.7 %, after surgery 94.8 ± 6.7 %, at the last follow-up it increased to 98.6 ± 5.4 %. Complications included 9 cases of instability of implant anchors and 1 case of suppuration. There were no neurological complications.
Conclusion. Stage correction using different instrumentations is a method of choice for surgical treatment of infantile and juvenile scoliosis.
