Multicenter Study
Surgical Predictors for Prevention of Postoperative Shoulder Imbalance in Lenke Type 2A Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
Multicenter, retrospective cohort study. ⋯ To prevent PSI in Lenke Type 2A AIS patients, surgeons should avoid the combination of non-STF-LTV and high MTC correction in those surgeries with UIV as T2.Level of Evidence: 4.
-
Retrospective review of prospective data from multicenter registry. ⋯ In older idiopathic EOS patients, MCGR, PSF, and VBT controlled curves effectively and increased spinal height. However, VBT and PSF have a lower hazard for an unplanned revision and improved QoL.Level of Evidence: 3.
-
Retrospective, multicenter chart, and radiologic review. ⋯ This is the first series to describe the use of a fully-radiolucent, integrated, PEEK/CF implant system for spinal tumor reconstruction. The use of a PEEK/CF VBR system integrated to either the anterior plate, or posterior screw-rod system is feasible and allows for superior postoperative surveillance imaging and effective delivery of postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy.Level of Evidence: 4.
