Abstract
Objective: To analyze results of surgical treatment of patients with congenital kyphosis in the thoracolumbar spine.
Material and Methods. A total of 24 patients aged 3 to 57 years with congenital kyphosis were operated on. Vertebral malformation was detected in 13 patients, malsegmentation - in 4, mixed abnormality - in 1, unclassifiable abnormality - in 3, and congenital vertebral displacement - in 3. Congenital kyphotic deformities were treated using five surgical techniques. Neurological complications were observed in one patient. Results. The average postoperative kyphosis angle was 42° (range: 7° to 68°). The average rate of correction was 34 % (range: 6 to 84 %).
Conclusion. Differential use of surgical techniques allows achieving good outcomes of treatment, restoring coronal and sagittal balance, and creating conditions for the proper development of the spine. Hir. Pozvonoc. 2014;(1):42-54.
